Before you start you will need the following:
- A USB Keyboard.
- A Monitor with a VGA input
- A VGA Cable
Connect the monitor to the VGA port on the server and the keyboard to the USB socket to the front of the machine. You’ll then be prompted to login. Enter the following and you should see the attached screen.
- Username: taitnet
- Password: tait
First make a note of the IP interface name (here its “eno8303”).
Next enter the following command without the brackets:
Sudo tait_configure_network.sh -i (interface name) -a (the new Ip address and mask entered as x.x.x.x/y) -g (the Ip address of the gateway)
If the command is entered correctly, you’ll see the page listing and completing a set of processes. Wait until its completed.
Now enter the following command
sudo reboot
When the server restarts its good practice to go into the system BIOS and change the iDrac address so it’s in the same range as the main machine.
Once the node has rebooted log in again. If everything worked your new Ip address will be displayed on the welcome screen.
