ALOM network configuration

We decommissioned all our older Solaris servers recently and decided to keep a couple to "play" with. Being older models the Service Processors hadn't been configured for network use plus they were a different bit of kit compared to our new ones which either used ILOM or XSCF operating systems, so.....

These are the commands I used to configure the ALOM which doesn't include NTP (being a test server I didn't go that far).

To set a static IP address:
setsc netsc_dhcp false
setsc netsc_ipaddr <IP address>
setsc netsc_ipnetmask <Subnet mask>
setsc netsc_ipgateway <Gateway address>

To check that the settings have taken:
shownetwork

You may have to reset the ALOM for the settings to take affect:
resetsc -y

The ALOM should be on the network now......
