Access the operating system or operating systems on each enterprise partition platform and configure the network settings for the public NIC ports so they can communicate with your corporate network infrastructure and access the Internet as necessary (for example, to activate operating system licenses). Unisys-supplied partition images are pre-configured to use DHCP addressing by default. According to your site policies, set the IP addresses, net masks, and gateways, configure the hosts file (on Linux), and set up routing tables if desired. For exact procedures, refer to your operating system documentation for network configuration details.
Note: Unisys turns off the NetworkManager service for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) partition images; do not turn on the service. The ClearPath Forward fabric uses bonded networks, and you may encounter problems when the NetworkManager service is running.
To identify the ports allocated to your partition image, use the Fabric Manager user interface to view the partition summary of your partition, and then click Port & Config Preview to display a logical diagram of the ports allocated to the partition.
