Changing the DHCP, DNS, or BOOTP Server from CLIMs to System Consoles

Changing the DHCP, DNS, or BOOTP Server from CLIMs
to System Consoles
Overview
NOTE: How you configure DHCP, DNS, and BOOTP services applies to all NonStop systems
configured on the same maintenance LAN. You can configure your environment to have
DHCP/DNS/BOOTP server functionality on either two (primary and backup) system consoles or
two designated CLIMs.
CAUTION: DHCP/DNS/BOOTP server functionality should be configured on two (primary and
backup) system consoles or two designated CLIMs for fault-tolerance, but should exist on no more
than two per maintenance LAN.
Moving DHCP/DNS/BOOTP server functionality for NonStop systems from CLIMs to system consoles
includes:
1. Making sure the system consoles meet all Minimum Requirements to perform the process and
be qualified BOOTP and DHCP servers
2. Preparing to Migrate BOOTP to System Consoles
3. Disabling DHCP, DNS, and BOOTP on CLIMs
4. Enabling DHCP, DNS, and BOOTP on System Consoles
5. Verifying DHCP
Minimum Requirements
To move the DHCP, DNS, and BOOTP server functionality for NonStop systems from CLIMs to
system consoles, those system consoles must be running Windows 2003 or later authorized for
NonStop System Consoles and have these minimum product versions installed:
• One of the following configuration wizards:
CLIM Boot Service Configuration Wizard (part of OSM Console Tools, T0634 AAU or
later)
◦
◦ NonStop Maintenance LAN DHCP DNS Configuration Wizard (part of OSM Console
Tools, T0634 G06 ABB or later)
IMPORTANT: If you have the NonStop Maintenance LAN DHCP DNS Configuration
Wizard on your system consoles, you must configure the wizard for first-time use as
directed in the NonStop System Console Installer Guide and the online help available in
the wizard. To launch the wizard from the Windows Start menu:
All Programs > HP OSM > NonStop Maintenance LAN DHCP DNS Configuration Wizard
• OSM Low-Level Link, T0633 G07ABN or later
• PuTTY (part of Console CLIM Utilities, T0697 H01 AAA or later)
These products are all available on NonStop System Console (NSC) Installer DVD,
S7X-SWV2/HNSC-SWV2, Update 17 or later. Updates to Halted State Services (HSS) firmware
for NonStop systems (T8004) are also downloaded from the NSC Installer DVD, as needed.
