2.2.2 Configuration with NEC ESMPRO Manager PXE Service (for LAN
connection)
Set configuration information for the BMC on the managed component by using the NEC ESMPRO
Manager PXE Service.
The NEC ESMPRO Manager PXE Service accepts network- boot requests only from the component to be
managed by the DHCP server.
CHECK:
NEC ESMPRO Manager PXE Service can be installed only on Windows.
There are two methods.
Setting the IP address assigned by the DHCP.
Setting the IP address specified in the computer information list.
2.2.2.1 Notes of Configuration with NEC ESMPRO Manager PXE Service
This section explains particular notes of Configuration with NEC ESMPRO Manager PXE Service.
-- When you set the IP address assigned by the DHCP, NEC ESMPRO Manager PXE Service configures the
BMC to obtain the IP address by the DHCP if the BMC that uses Management LAN Port is integrated in
the managed component.
Since the NEC ESMPRO Manager PXE Service does not configure the IP address, the IP address is not
shown in Computer Information list of the NEC ESMPRO Manager PXE Service.
-- If Advanced Remote Management Card is integrated in the managed somponent, the BMC may not
immediately obtain the IP address after NEC ESMPRO Manager PXE Service configures the BMC to
obtain the IP address by the DHCP. Please turn the managed component AC-OFF and AC-ON because the
BMC try to obtain the IP address whenever the managed component is turned AC-ON.
-- If the DHCP server does not respond within the fixed period of time, the BMC will stop trying to obtain
the IP address. Then NEC ESMPRO Manager cannot search the managed component with the function
"Auto Registration". In this case, please turn the managed component AC-OFF and AC-ON. See
2.2.2.5"Procedure to retry configuration with NEC ESMPRO Manager PXE Service" for retry.
-- If the BMC that uses standard port is integrated in the managed component, the managed component needs
to be made network-boot via LAN1. Set the priority to LAN1 to become higher than LAN2 with BIOS
Setup Utility.
-- While the NEC ESMPRO Manager PXE Service is active, do not network-boot a managed component that
has been configured by a method other than using the NEC ESMPRO Manager PXE Service. Otherwise,
the configuration is performed with the NEC ESMPRO Manager PXE Service, resulting in the change of
the original configuration information. In this case, the component may not be managed through the NEC
ESMPRO Manager.
-- Before starting the NEC ESMPRO Manager PXE Service, stop other PXE services and software having
the PXE service function in the network. If you use other PXE services and software having the PXE
service function, stop the NEC ESMPRO Manager PXE service and then start them.
This procedure is necessary to start the service that you want to use.
