HP XC System Software Hardware Preparation Guide Version 3.0

6. Ensure that all machines are requesting IP addresses through the Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP).
Do the following to determine if DHCP is enabled:
a. At the ProLiant> prompt, enter the following:
ProLiant> net
b. At the INET> prompt, enter the following:
INET> state
iface...ipsrc.....IP addr........subnet.......gateway
1-et1 dhcp 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
current tick count 2433
ping delay time: 280 ms.
ping host: 0.0.0.0
Task wakeups:netmain: 93
nettick: 4814
telnetsrv: 401
c. If the value for ipsrc is nvmem, enter dhcp at the INET> prompt:
INET> dhcp
Configuring for the enabling of DHCP.
Note: Configuration change has been made, but changes will
not take effect until the processor has been rebooted.
Do you wish to reboot the processor now, may take 10 seconds
(y or n)?
d. Enter y to reboot the processor.
7. If the DHCP setting has not been changed, press Shift+Esc+Q, or enter quit at the ProLiant>
prompt to exit the Management Processor CLI and invoke Console mode.
Preparing HP ProLiant DL145 G2 Nodes
On an HP ProLiant DL145 G2 server, the appropriate settings are configured using the BIOS Setup Utility.
Figure 3-6 shows a rear view of the HP ProLiant DL145 G2 server and the appropriate port assignments
for an HP XC system.

The callouts on Figure 3-6 enumerate the following:
1. This port is used as the connection to the Administration Switch (branch or root). On the rear of the
node, this port is marked with the number 1 (NIC1).
2. If a Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) interconnect is configured, this port is used for the interconnect connection.
Otherwise, it is used for an external connection. On the rear of the node, this port is marked with the
number 2 (NIC2).
3. The port labeled LO100i is used as the connection to the Console Switch.
