Quick Start Guide
Using a Serial Console
4.1.2
You can access the components of your MS2900 platform by using the MSH8900 serial console multiplexer
(MUX). Follow these steps:
1. Connect a serial cable to the Hub 1 serial console port on the front of the MS2900 platform. (See ‚2‛
on Figure 6.)
Use the RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter that shipped with the system on the console end of the cable.
2. Run a VT100 terminal emulator with the following serial port communication parameters:
115200 baud
no parity
8 data bits
3. To switch the serial console across different components, press CTRL g and then the number for the
component you want to configure.
The numbers for each component are:
0: Shelf manager (ShMC)
1 to 9: processor node 1 through node 9
– (minus): switch CLI
For example, to direct the serial console to processor node 7, press CTRL g and then press 7.
Configuring Shelf Management Controllers (ShMCs)
To connect the serial console MUX to a ShMC, follow these steps:
1. Press CTRL g and then press 0 to switch the console to the ShMC.
2. Log in with the user admin password: admin.
3. In root mode, use admin again for the password and type sudo –s.
You should now get the ipmitool> prompt.
To set the IP address:
1. Type lan set 1 ipsrc dhcp
To use a static IP address:
1. Type lan set 1 ipsrc static
2. Type lan set 1 ipaddr 192.168.100.X
3. Type lan set 1 defgw ipaddr 192.168.100.X
4. Type lan set 1 netmask 255.255.255.X
