1. Config DRAC
    1. Upon boot screen of a Dell server, press Ctrl-E.
    2. Scroll down to the "LAN Parameters" option.
    3. Assign the IP address (163.22.28.{4,5,6})
    4. DNS Server: 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4
    5. LAN User Configuration: admin:changeme
    6. Press <ESC> a few times to exit and save.
  2. Boot:
    1. Power on the machines one at a time and insert the respective boot CD into the respective machine.   Once you’ve inserted the boot CD and closed the cdrom, power off the machine (hold
      power button in for 5sec), wait 15 seconds.
  3. Testing
    1. Configure a laptop with IP address 163.22.28.250.  Connect it with Ethernet to the switch.
    2. Check that LEDs are green on HP switch for all connected ports ( 3x to DRACs, 3x to DELL Ethernets, 1G uplink)
    3. Test connectivity
      1. From test machine, ping switch, if ok proceed.
      2. From test machine, ping server (should go 'through' switch), if ok proceed.
    4. Test ssh
      • From test machine, ssh admin@<serverip>, WAIT (if there is no dns resolution,
        might take a little bit, e.g. 60seconds). If you can login with admin/changeme,
        then OK, proceed.
    5. Test HTTPS test
    6. Repeat the above two steps from an Internet host
  4. Contact M-Lab team to verify connectivity.  Once given the green light, the job is complete.
