Procedure to restore the MAC address configuration

(Use one of the two precedures below)

Procedure A:

Use the OA to give you the new MAC addresses of the server:

1. Login to OA CLI

2. Use the command “show server port map X” where X is the server bay id and make a note

of the MAC addresses

i. eth0 should have the MAC address of LOM1-a

ii. eth3 should have the MAC address of LOM2-b

iii. If these are in use, eth1 gets LOM1-b and eth2 gets LOM2-a

3. Change the HWADDR entires in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth* to match the

MAC addresses of the new system board.

Procedure B:

For a system that has more than four NIC ports enabled (which is rare), you will have to consult

one of the surviving blade servers configuration files to determine the LOM->eth device mapping

to correctly setup the HWADDR entries.

1. Do procedure A steps 1-2
