Ready the Data Center for an SBM Deployment

Domain Administration

Note After the SBM is installed, the SBM administrator can find the MAC address

by entering show ip in the SBM OS CLI, which is accessed through the host HP

zl switch CLI. However, it is recommended that you create the DHCP reserva-

tion before the SBM is installed.

Create a DNS Entry for the SBM (Optional)

You might want your SBM administrator to be able to initially access the SBM’s

Setup Wizard from the SBM’s hostname rather than its IP address. If so, you

must create a DNS entry that maps the SBM’s hostname to its fixed IP address.

The SBM’s default hostname is its serial number, which you can find on the

upper deck of the module. (See the HP Survivable Branch Communication
