Establish a serial connection to the SP Serial Management Port (SER MGT). Log in to the ILOM SP.
USER: root
Password: chnageher
Set the working directory.
# cd /SP/network
Enter the following commands tospecify a static Ethernet configuration. Note that there are no spaces in command line structure.

set pendingipaddress=xxx.xx.xxx.xxx  ( Desired IP here)
set pendingipdiscovery=static
set pendingipnetmask=255.255.255.0
set pendingipgateway= xxx.xx.xxx.xxx
set commitpending=true
set state=enabled

Verify the changes.
# show /SP/network
Log out of the ILOM SP.
# exit
Power on the server.
start /SYS

To start the host console
# start /HOST/console –f or start /SP/console –f
