4. Select the Save button.
The network definition is overwritten with the new parameters.
6.3.4 Deleting a network definition
1. Choose the network definition from the Available Networks list.
2. Select the Delete button.
Unless there are any systems that had this network applied to them, the network definition
is erased and its name is removed from the Available Networks list.
6.4 Using the Network Configuration Editor
Use the Network Configuration Editor to assign networking parameters to the servers that are
booted using the virtual media mechanism; this ensures that the server's network is set up
properly when the server is booted using virtual media. These network parameters are similar
to those that DHCP would normally set; virtual media does not use DHCP.
IMPORTANT: Before attempting an Insight Control for Linux bare-metal discovery, capture,
deployment, or OS installation, define the network parameters for any server that uses the virtual
media mechanism instead of PXE.
For the procedure to apply network configuration parameters to a single server, see “Using the
Network Configuration Editor for a single server” (page 70)
For information that applies to applying network configuration parameters to multiple servers,
see
“Considerations for using the Network Configuration Editor for multiple servers” (page 72) .
Additional functions available on the Network Configuration Editor page are described in
“Additional functions of Network Configuration Editor page” (page 72) .
6.4.1 Using the Network Configuration Editor for a single server
1. Run the Network Configuration Editor by selecting the Options
→IC-Linux→Network
Configuration Editor menu item.
2. Select the target.
The target must be the corresponding iLO-based management processor. Ensure that HP
SIM already discovered the management processor; the management processor should not
be licensed.
NOTE: Take care that all target management processors are iLO-based:
• If you select a single target management processor that is not an iLO-based management
processor, the tool does not let you proceed and displays No in the Tool launch OK?
field of the Verify Target Systems window.
• If you select several target management processors, the Network Configuration Editor
accepts only the iLO-based management processors.
• If you select a collection (for example, All Management Processors), the Network
Configuration Editor cannot exclude any management processors that are not iLO-based.
As a consequence:
— There is a delay while the Network Configuration Editor attempts to collect data
from these non-iLO management processors
— These management processors cannot perform any virtual media functions.
3. Verify the target or targets, then select Run Now. The Network Configuration Editor page
appears.
