Sometimes you don’t have access to an ILO IP of a BL460c (or similar) Blade in the C7000, for example because you bought a blade refurbished or it moved from another C7000.
First method:
A) Log on to the OA CLI through Putty (or similar)
B) Connect to the blade nr you wish to change the IP address of (e.g. Blade 10):
connect server 10
C) Change to the directory where the settings are:
cd /map1
D) Type the following, which resets all ILO settings (this works like a major refresh and is useful anyway, as sometimes ILO is stubborn)
reset
E) Go the C7000 GUI
Go to Enclosure Informaton -> Enclosure Settings -> Enclosure Bay IP Addressing -> IPv4
Set the IP address of the bay through the GUI options and press ‘Apply’.
Alternative method if the above does not work:
A) Log on to the OA CLI through Putty (or similar)
B) Connect to the blade nr you wish to change the IP address of (e.g. Blade 10):
connect server 10
C) Do this, and change the IP address to what you need:
set /map1/enetport1/lanendpt1/ipendpt1 IPv4Address=10.10.10.100
if you also need to change the subnetmask (to e.g. 255.255.255.0) do this instead:
set /map1/enetport1/lanendpt1/ipendpt1 IPv4Address=10.10.10.100 SubnetMask=255.255.255.0
