2.2 Determine IP Addresses and Firmware Versions
2.2 Determine IP Addresses and Firmware Versions
Perform this step twice for each enclosure you are removing from the donor system:
•
Once for the PMF CRU or IOMF CRU in slot 50
•
Once for the PMF CRU or IOMF CRU in slot 55
•
For an IOAM enclosure, once for each ServerNet Switch Board
Step Action Result
1. In the tree pane, located on the left side of
the window, expand the icon for the system.
The tree pane displays all the
enclosures.
2. Expand the group and module so that you
can see the PMF or IOMF CRUs.
For an IOAM enclosure, expand the group,
the IOAM enclosure, and the modules so
that you can see the ServerNet Switch
Boards
The Physical view displays the
devices in the enclosure.
3. Expand the PMF or IOMF in slot 50 and
click on the SP.
For an IOAM Enclosure, click on the
ServerNet Switch Board in module 2.
The attributes appear in the detail
pane, including:
•
IP Address
•
SP Firmware Version
If this is a processor enclosure, you
also see:
•
Processor Firmware Version
•
SCSI Firmware Version
•
The Topology is either 8 (for
Tetra 8) or 16 (for Tetra 16).
If this is a ServerNet Switch board,
you see:
•
ME Firmware version
•
ME FPGA version
4. Record this information on Worksheet 2.n of the donor system packet.
For IOAM enclosures, use Worksheet 2.1a of the donor system packet.
5. For the CRU in slot 55, repeat steps 3 and 4.
For a ServerNet Switch Board in module 3 of an IOAM enclosure, steps 3 and 4.
6. For every enclosure you are removing from the donor system, repeat steps 2
through 5.
For information about which enclosure to remove next, see Order of Removal
on
page 3-17.
Note. IP addresses for the ServerNet Switch boards in an IOAM enclosure are dynamically
assigned by a DHCP server or software that performs the same function.
