Enter the configuration information at the prompts.
4. Set up the CP1 IP address by entering the ipAddrSet -cp 1 command:
swDir:admin> ipAddrSet -cp 1
Enter the configuration information at the prompts.
The following is a sample IP configuration:
swDir:admin> ipAddrSet -chassis
swDir:admin> ipaddrset -chassis

NOTE: You can use the serial port to monitor error messages through a serial connection. After
using the port, log out of the serial console, remove the serial cable, and install the shipping cap
on the port.
Establishing an Ethernet connection
NOTE: HP recommends that you connect the CP blades to a private network/VLAN.
After using a serial connection to configure the IP addresses for the Director (see “Configuring IP
addresses” (page 37)), you can connect the active CP blade to the LAN.
By establishing an Ethernet connection, you can complete the Director configuration using either
a serial session, Telnet, or management applications such as Web Tools or HP B-series SAN
Network Advisor.
To establish an Ethernet connection to the Director:
1. Remove the shipping plug from the Ethernet port on the active CP blade.
2. Insert one end of an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to an Ethernet 10/100/1000 Base-T LAN.
The Director can be accessed by remote connection using a management tool.
4. To complete any other Director configuration procedures, Use Telnet to log on to the Director
as admin login. The default password is password.
