Update or change the BMC IP address
You can change or update the IP address for the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) using the ProtecTIER Service Menu.
Before you begin
For the purposes of these procedures, it is assumed that the IP address configured for the BMC is 192.168.10.163 for the lower node and 192.168.10.164 for the upper node in case you have a clustered environment.
Note:
To ensure communications between ProtecTIER and the BMC, configure the BMC over the same subnet as the ProtecTIER server, or make sure that network routing exists. If you do not establish communications between the BMC and ProtecTIER, BMC reports and health monitoring on the BMC do not work.
