Add a Server to the Operating Configuration
•
Because all servers are shipped with the same default low-level link (MSP) and
operating system IP addresses, ensure that the server you are adding has IP
addresses different from those of all servers currently on the Ethernet LAN. To
view or change the MSP IP addresses, use the OSM or TSM Low-Level Link.
Figure 10-6 shows a server that has been added to the operating configuration.
Procedure
1. Create a temporary setup configuration using the server you are adding, its system
console, and its switch or hub. See Setup Configuration on page 10-2.
2. Configure the OSM or TSM environment. While you are configuring the server you
are adding, make sure you assign IP addresses that do not conflict with the
addresses used by the server already installed in the operation configuration.
3. Disconnect the server you are adding from the temporary setup configuration.
Then connect that server to the operating configuration.
4. Connect the ferrite-bead end of an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the PMF
CRU in slot 50 of group 01 of new server you are adding. Connect the other end of
this Ethernet cable to any port on Switch 1 except the cascade port. Make sure the
RJ-45 plug on the cable clicks into place as shown in Figure 10-7.
