Setting up A Static IP Address on HP ILO

 

Note: Once you plug an ethernet cable into the ILO port and connect it to your switch. (number 13 in the above picture) This can be easily done by your Editshare Technician using the ipmitool assuming they can still ssh to the system 

 

Configuring static IP address

This step is required only if user want to use a static IP address. When user use dynamic IP addressing, the DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address for iLO.

To simplify installation, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends using DNS or DHCP with iLO.

Procedure

  1. Optional: If user access the server remotely, start an iLO remote console session.

  2. Restart or power on the server.

  3. Press F9 in the server POST screen. The system utilities start.

  4. Click System Configuration.

  5. Click iLO 5 Configuration Utility.

  6. Disable DHCP:

    1. Click Network options.

    2. Select OFF in the DHCP Enable menu. The IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway IP Address boxes become editable. When DHCP enable is set to ON, user cannot edit these values.

  7. Enter values in theIP Address,Subnet Mask and Gateway IP Address boxes.

  8. To save the changes and exit, press F12. The iLO 5 configuration utility prompts user to confirm that user want to save the pending configuration changes.

  9. To save and exit, clickYes - Save Changes.

    The iLO 5 Configuration Utility notifies user that iLO must be reset in order for the changes to take effect.

  10. Click OK.

    iLO resets, and the iLO session is automatically ended. User can reconnect in approximately 30 seconds.

  11. Resume the normal boot process

    1. Start the iLO remote console. The iLO 5 configuration utility is still open from the previous session.

    2. Press ESC several times to navigate to the System Configuration page.

    3. To exit the system utilities and resume the normal boot process, clickExit and resume system boot.

 

iLO IP address acquisition DHCP

To enable iLO access after it is connected to the network, the iLO management processor must acquire an IP address and subnet mask. You can use a dynamic address or a static address.

Dynamic IP address

A dynamic IP address is set by default. iLO obtains the IP address and subnet mask from DNS or DHCP servers. This method is the simplest.

If you use DHCP:

  • The iLO management port must be connected to a network that is connected to a DHCP server, and iLO must be on the network before power is applied. DHCP sends a request soon after power is applied. If the DHCP request is not answered when iLO first boots, it will reissue the request at 90-second intervals.

  • The DHCP server must be configured to provide DNS and WINS name resolution.
