Access the SP console with the IPMI tool
Set your laptop NIC to 128.221.1.249 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
The IPMI tool communicates with the BMC, and redirects the serial console communications over
Ethernet.
From a Command Prompt window, navigate to the folder containing the extracted IPMI tool files and
run the IPMI tool to access the SP console.
A sample command is provided below:
ipmitool.exe -I lanplus -C 3 -U console -P <password> -H <host> sol activate
Where:
• lanplus causes the IPMI tool to use secure communication.
• console is the fixed BMC username
• <password> is the PROD ID/SN value on the storage processor chassis serial PSNT label.
• <host> is the BMC IP address
o SP A: 128.221.1.252
o SP B: 128.221.1.253
-I is a capital I
