Onboard Administrators must be OK. An OK status means that both Onboard Administrators have
the same firmware version, and that they are communicating properly.
Enable Link Loss Failover-
This check box enables or disables automatic Link Loss Failover.
Failover Interval-
The failover interval is the amount of time the active Onboard Administrator must
be without a link on the external Ethernet interface before the system considers an automatic
failover. The interval must be between 30 and 86400 seconds.

Enclosure Bay IP Addressing screen
There is an important difference between the network the Superdome 2 complex is connected to
and the management network that the Onboard Administrator uses. Enclosure Bay IP Addressing
is used to assign IP addresses to the iLO 3 processors that are bridged through the Onboard
Administrator and must not be confused with port mapping for the server blade NICs or for network
routers or switches. EBPIA does not assign IP addresses for any other device on the network, and
cannot be used as a DHCP server on the network.
The server blade iLO 3 ports and interconnect module management ports can get IP addresses on
the management network in the following ways:
•
DHCP address
•
Static IP address
•
EBIPA
•
DHCP addresses
: The server blade iLO 3 defaults to DHCP addressing, got through the network
connector of the active Onboard Administrator. Interconnect modules that have an internal
management network connection to the Onboard Administrator may also default to the DHCP
address.
The Onboard Administrator GUI lists the IP address for the server blade iLO 3 port and
interconnect module management port.
•
Static IP
:
Manual
: If your facility prefers static IP address assignment, you can change each of the
server blade iLO 3 ports and interconnect module management ports individually to
◦
unique static addresses or use EBIPA to assign a range of static IP addresses to individual
server blade and interconnect module bays.
◦
EBIPA
: When a server blade or interconnect module is inserted into a bay that has EBIPA
enabled, that management port will get the specific static IP address from the Onboard
Administrator if that device is configured for DHCP.
The administrator sets an independent range for server blade bays and interconnect module bays
using the Onboard Administrator EBIPA setup wizard. The first address in a range is assigned to
the first bay and then consecutive bays through the range.
To set up your enclosure without an active network connection using EBIPA:
1.
Configure a static IP for each Onboard Administrator using the Insight Display, and note the
active OA Service IP address on the Insight Display Enclosure Info screen. Attach the client
PC to the enclosure Service Port (Enclosure Link Up connector) between the OA bays with a
standard Ethernet patch cable. The client PC NIC must be configured for DHCP because it
gets an IP address in the range of 169.254.x.y approximately 1 minute later.
2.
Launch a web browser (or alternatively a Telnet or Secure Shell session), and select the
Onboard Administrator Service IP address as displayed in the enclosure Insight Display on
the Enclosure Info screen.
3.
Log into the Onboard Administrator as Administrator, and use the administrative password
attached to the active Onboard Administrator.
