The migration to OPAL-RTLinux can be done by operating the target in two ways:

1. Directly, by connecting the OP4510 simulator (the target) to a monitor, à keyboard and a mouse

2. Remotely, by using the OP4510 simulator IPMI capabilities

Both ways can be used at the same time to operate the target.

You will also need a computer with Microsoft Windows connected to the same network as the target.

Operate the Target Using a Monitor, Keyboard and Mouse

To operate the target directly:

• Connect a monitor using a VGA cable to port #9

• Connect a USB keyboard to port #3 or #4

• Connect a USB mouse to port #3 or #4

Operate the Target Using IPMI

To operate the target remotely by IPMI:

• Connect an Ethernet cable to port #2

• See this page on how to set up and use IPMI: Configure and Use the IPMI Interface

Connect the Target to the Local Network

• Normally, if one Ethernet cable for communication with the local network is connected, it should be to port #7
  This is the recommended configuration and the one we will use in this procedure

  • Port #7 is referred as network interface eth0 in Red Hat Linux and as eno1 in OPAL-RTLinux

  • Port #8 if used, it is referred as network interface eth1 in Red Hat Linux and as eno2 in OPAL-RTLinux
