4.4 Transition in a private network

This section describes how to perform that transition of managed systems that

are in the private network. In this scenario, either the SDMC or the HMC can be

the DHCP server. The steps for transitioning when the SDMC is the DHCP

server is different from the steps when the HMC is the DHCP server.

• Connect SDMC to the private network.

• Configure network interface with DHCP range.

• Wait 20 minutes.

• FSPs will have changed IP addresses.

• FSPs will have gotten new DHCP leases from SDMC.

• SDMC will auto-discover them.

• Request access to the given systems.

• Leave HMC connected to the HMC1 IP address

(HMC is the DHCP server).

• Connect SDMC to the HMC2 IP address (SDMC

is the DHCP server).

• Connect SDMC into the private network.

• Configure SDMC to be a DHCP client of the

HMC.
