Re: HP Blade questions
There are a few ways you can set up the blades. The 2 more common ways are:
Manual Setup through iLo and
Scripted Install through RDP
The iLo allows you to get a remote console session when you log into the web interface. It also allows you to mount virtual media onto the server. A CD, an image, a floppy... all from your remote workstation.
RDP allows you to run automated and scripted installations.
The quickest way to get started is probably using the ilo and virtual media.
RDP is a management application as well as a deployment application. Loo here for more info on RDP...
" http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/rdp.html?jumpid=servers/rdp "
You can use RDP to install different OS's including Windows, Linux and VMware ESX Server.
To get to the ilo's interface, plug in the ilo port to your network with a dhcp server on it. On a workstation with java client, browse to the address that it leases. Log in using the password o the white tag on the front of the blade. From there it should be self explainitory, but do post more questions.

Re: HP Blade questions
Take a look at the back of the enclosure. On the Management module there should be 3 labeled RJ45 ports. One oft hem should be for the iLo. If you do not have this, then you have an older enclosure. If you have the older enclosure, then each individual blade uses port 4 on the interconnect as it's iLo port. In the case of the 30's, you need to have the enhanced enclosure so my guess is that you have the 1 ilo port on the management module. Connect it up to the network with dhcp, look at the dhcp server to find teh addresses used by the blades for iLo and web browse to them.

Re: HP Blade questions
I looked at the management console and only have 2 ports. It says one is for the upper enclosure and one is for the bottom enclosure.
What is the interconnect? I have 2 patch panels inserted into each end of the enclosure. I would assume put 4 would be the port the far right of the enclosure if you are looking at the back of it. Which port would I use for the 30's. I am assuming the left 2 ports would be for the top 30p and the right 2 ports would be for the bottom 30p, would either of those be a ilo?
Sorry if this sounds so stupid.

SolutionRight next to the "upper" port, like 2 inches to the right there should be another port labeled iLo if you have the Enhanced Enclosure.
"What is the interconnect?" Your Patch Panels (on each side of the enclosure)
"I have 2 patch panels inserted into each end of the enclosure. I would assume put 4 would be the port the far right of the enclosure if you are looking at the back of it."
No. It is the port furthest to the left. I believe the layout is...
4 - 3 - Enclosure - 1 - 2
"Which port would I use for the 30's. I am assuming the left 2 ports would be for the top 30p and the right 2 ports would be for the bottom 30p, would either of those be a ilo?"
As I stated, I believe you need to upgrade to the Enhanced Enclosure to properly utilize iLo on BL30's. If not, Ports 1 and 4 would be probably be for the top or bottom bl30 and ports 2 and 3 for the other (top or bottom). Each bl30 should have 1 port on each patch panel.
"Sorry if this sounds so stupid." It's not stupid at all.

Re: HP Blade questions
IF you do not have the tag, you will have to bypass the ilo security by setting a dip switch inside the blade to get into it and reset the password. Afterwards, remember to disable the bypass or just leave it enabled so you can easily get in with no password.
