Full Discussion: T5220 ILO not saving static IP
Operating Systems Solaris T5220 ILO not saving static IP Post 302442779 by danfall4 on Thursday 5th of August 2010 12:14:54 PM

Network T5220 ILO not saving static IP
I have a brand new T5220 and I'm trying to configure the ILOM port with a static Ip address via the Serial Management port. I log on as "root" and then enter the commands ( see below) to config the port. When I enter the last command which is " set /SP/network commitpending=true", which I believe should commit the entries, I'm getting the error "unable to configure network".

Does anyone know why this is happening?



Here's what I do.

I communicate with the box via the Ser Mgt port connected to the serial port of my PC
I have port Net0 connected to my ACTIVE LAN switch. The OS - Solaris is NOT up.
Not sure of the Net Mgt port needs to be connected to a switch so I've tried with an active connection and without. Had the same error each time.

I log in with root. ( Cli_mode=alom)

I see the following



Code:
Waiting for daemons to initialize...
Daemons ready
Sun(TM) Integrated Lights Out Manager
Version 3.0.6.1.d r48331
Copyright 2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved.

Warning: password is set to factory default.


Below are all the commands in sequence I'm using to configure the ILOM with a static IP: Note that the numbers in the addresses were selected at random for the purpose of this example.

Code:
-> set /SP/network state=enabled
Set ’state’ to ’enabled’
-> set /SP/network pendingipaddress=2.220.151.129
Set ’pendingipaddress’ to 2.220.151.129
-> set /SP/network pendingipdiscovery=static
Set ’pendingipdiscovery’ to ’static’
-> set /SP/network pendingipnetmask=255.255.255.254
Set ’pendingipnetmask’ to ’255.255.252.0’
-> set /SP/network pendingipgateway=2.220.151.158
Set ’pendingipgateway’ to ’10.8.21.248’
-> set /SP/network commitpending=true
-> "unable to configure network".



Any ideas what is causing this? Could someone direct me to a URL
which will decsribe the solution? I 've seen others getting this same issue
over the years when they try to configure the ILOM but I never see the solution posted.

Thank you!
