IMPORTANT: Do not interrupt the provisioning process. Do not allow Write access to
your server console while this procedure is in progress.
You can continue to fill out rest of the details for OpenVMS TCP/IP Configuration and
TCP/IP Services while provisioning fetches the network interfaces in the background. After
completion, provisioning populates the TCP/IP Interfaces field in the GUI with the interfaces
found in the link-up state. You can select the TCP/IP interface later, if required.
NOTE: If you accidentally specified incorrect credentials for MP login and OpenVMS
system login, and provisioning has started accessing the target server, you can correct the
credentials. Provisioning will use the corrected credentials to access the target server.
If the TCP/IP interface fetch procedure does not complete successfully, the reason for failure
is displayed against the corresponding target server (next to the TCP/IP Interface combo
box) and in the log file <HP SIM Installation Directory>\logs\OPENVMS\
<mp-ipaddress>_<date>_GetInterface.log on the ProLiant server that is running
HP SIM.
5. Specify the OpenVMS TCP/IP configuration and TCP/IP Services details for each target
server.
• OpenVMS TCP/IP Configuration: Specify the following TCP/IP configuration details
for the selected interface:
— Hostname — TCP/IP host name for the target server. When configuring the target
server as a DHCP client, the host name (if specified) is suggested to the DHCP
server when acquiring the DHCP address settings.
— Configure using DHCP — Select this option if the address configuration for the
interface will be managed by DHCP client. If not, the following information needs
to be provided for a static IP address configuration:
◦ Interface IP address
◦ Subnet mask
