Operating Systems AIX How to specify the correct HMC interface during installios Post 302354022 by balaji_prk on Wednesday 16th of September 2009 10:57:12 PM

How to specify the correct HMC interface during installios

I am trying to restore a VIO server through HMC. The nim_resources.tar is nfs exported from a file server.

The HMC has 2 interface configured

ent0 - Privare network
ent1 - Public network

Both networks are isolated from each other with different switch.

Now the problem:

When running the installios command from HMC and after providing the required parameter, the HMC assumes server IP as the one in private network and going forward ping fails during the lpar bootup

Quote:

Connecting to my-vio
Connected
Checking for power off.
Power off complete.
Power on stvus056t-vio to Open Firmware.
Power on complete.
Client IP address is 10.242.231.69.
Server IP address is 172.17.0.2.
Gateway IP address is 10.242.231.126.
Subnetmask IP address is 255.255.255.192.
Getting adapter location codes.
/pci@800000020000203/ethernet@1 ping unsuccessful
Is there any way I can tell the HMC to use the HMC interface in public network as Server IP and not the private interface ?

Let me know if its not clear..
