Server Blade Configuration and Utilities
•
Through the server blade rear panel connectors (out of the rack, with the
diagnostic station): This method enables you to configure a server blade out of
the rack by powering the blade with the diagnostic station and connecting to an
existing network through a hub. The IP address is assigned by a DHCP server on
a network.
iLO ROM-Based Setup Utility
The iLO ROM-Based Setup Utility (iLO RBSU) is the recommended method to
configure and set up iLO. The iLO RBSU is designed to assist you with setting up
iLO on a network and is not intended for continued administration.
To run iLO RBSU:
1.
Restart or power up the server blade.
2.
Press the F8 key when prompted during the Power-On Self-Test (POST). The
iLO RBSU runs.
3.
Enter a valid iLO user ID and password with the appropriate iLO privileges
(Administer User Accounts, Configure iLO Settings).
4.
Make and save any necessary changes to the iLO configuration.
5.
Exit iLO RBSU, when finished.
HP recommends using the static IP bay configuration feature on iLO or DNS/DHCP
with iLO to simplify installation. If DNS/DHCP cannot be used, use one of the
following procedures to disable DNS/DHCP and to configure the IP address and the
subnet mask:
1.
Log into iLO using the DNS/DHCP IP address.
2.
At the Administration screen, enter a valid iLO user ID and password with the
appropriate iLO privileges.
3.
Select Network Settings and enter the appropriate information.
