Adding IP Address and Credentials to Chassis

On the Initial Chassis Configuration page, you can configure the IP address and credentials to the chassis and the associated servers and I/O module during discovery. However, you can configure the global chassis settings and other unique settings for chassis, servers, and I/O modules using the Configure Resource wizard.
  • NOTE: The Chassis Configuration page in the Discover Resources wizard is displayed only when the resources that you discovered include one or more chassis.
  1. On the Initial Chassis Configuration page, in the IP Addressing section, perform the following actions:

    1. Under Chassis, select one of the following methods for obtaining IP addresses for the chassis:

      • Use existing chassis IP address — ASM does not change the IP address of the chassis.

        • NOTE: This option is valid only for chassis that have been previously configured and deployed inside or outside of ASM. Do not choose this option for new chassis.

        Assign static IP address from the network — Assign a static IP address from the pool of IP addresses in a management network. To add a network, click New and complete the Define Network page.

    2. Under Servers, select one of the following methods for obtaining IP addresses for the chassis:

      • Use existing chassis IP address — ASM does not change the IP address of the chassis.

        • NOTE: This option is valid only for servers that have been previously configured and deployed inside or outside of ASM. Do not choose this option for new chassis.

      • Assign IP address via DHCP — Use DHCP to automatically allocate an IP address. This option is not valid for chassis.

      • Assign static IP address from the network — Assign a static IP address from the pool of IP addresses in a management network. To add a network, click New and complete the Define Network page.

    3. Under I/O Modules, select one of the following methods for obtaining IP addresses for the chassis:

      • Use existing chassis IP address — ASM does not change the IP address of the device.

        • NOTE: This option is valid only for I/O modules that have been previously configured and deployed inside or outside of Active System Manager. Do not choose this option for new devices.

      • Assign IP address via DHCP — Use DHCP to automatically allocate an IP address. This option is not valid for chassis.

      • Assign static IP address from the network — Assign a static IP address from the pool of IP addresses in a management network. To add a network, click New and complete the Define Network page.

  2. In the Credentials section, perform the following actions to select or modify the root credentials for chassis and associated servers and I/O modules:

    1. From the Chassis Credentials drop-down list, select the credentials for accessing the chassis. To create a root credential, click Create New. To edit a credential, select the credential from the Chassis Credentials drop-down list and click Edit.

    2. From the Blade Credentials drop-down list, select the credentials for accessing blade server within the chassis. To create a new root credential, click Create New. To edit a credential, select the credential from the Blade Credentials drop-down list and click Edit.

    3. From the I/O Module Credentials drop-down list, select the credentials for accessing I/O modules within the chassis. To create a new root credential, click Create New. To edit a credential, select the credential from the I /O Module Credentials drop-down list and click Edit.

  3. Click Next.
