Re: New 520 - Does the OS come pre-installed?

[Aaron Bartell <aaronbartell@xxxxxxxxx>]

Lukas, again, you are my admin lifesaver.  I owe you a beer the next time I
see you.  Actually, we are probably up to a couple pitchers of beer by now
:-)

Question:
In the "Hardware & Console" step 4, what should I specify for the "Service
host name" field when configuring the ops console?  I configured my ASMI HMC
1 ethernet port to be 192.168.0.12 which I am guessing is NOT the IP address
I should be using.  I configured my laptop to have a static IP of
192.168.0.20.

You should know that when I was following the ASMI directions earlier it
said to go into Network Configuration.  I configured eth0 for ipv4 and gave
it the following other settings:
host name=white
IP address=192.168.0.12
Subnet mask=255.255.255.0
Default gateway=192.168.0.1
Domain name: mowyourlawn.com
and then added two IP addresses for two known working DNS servers.

Thanks,
Aaron Bartell
