c. Press the Enter key to access the MP. If there is no response, press the MP reset pin on the back
of the MP and try again.

NOTE: Most of the MP commands of the HP Integrity rx8620 are similar to the HP Integrity rx2600
MP commands, but there are some differences. The two MPs for the HP Integrity rx8620 operate in
a master/slave relationship. Only the master MP, which is on Core IO board 0, is assigned an IP
address. Core IO board 0 is always the top Core IO board. The slave MP is used only if the master
MP fails.
5. Enter LC to configure the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address for the HP Integrity
rx8620 master MP interfaces; do not configure an IP address for the slave MP.
• Gateway address is 172.21.0.16 (default based on 16 nodes)
• Subnet mask address is 255.0.0.0
• IP addresses are listed in Table 3-20.

password on every node.
IMPORTANT: The remaining steps in this procedure (setting the network boot option, the boot order,
and console options) must be performed twice, once for each partition on the HP Integrity rx8620
system.
On HP Integrity rx8620 systems, some MP commands, such as CO and PE, prompt you to supply the
partition on which to perform the action.
