2.4.4 Freeing an IP address stored in Network Configuration Editor
The Network Configuration Editor distributes IP Addresses from a range that you specify when
you define a network. It stores the network range and the assigned IP addresses in the /opt/
mx/icle/config/network_map.xml file. If a managed system is deleted from HP SIM, that
managed system and its IP address assignment is not removed from the network_map.xml
file, and the IP address is not released.
You have the following two methods for releasing the IP address:
• Use this procedure before the node is deleted:
1. Invoke the Network Configuration Editor with the managed system as its target.
2. Assign the managed system a blank IP address.
3. Select Save.
This releases the address and the managed system can be deleted.
• Edit the network_map.xml file to remove the entry for the managed system.
2.5 Next Step
After you have defined and applied the network parameters to the servers that will be booted
through virtual media, proceed to Chapter 3 (page 37) to discover the server or servers.
