Ml35 g5 ilo setup

katie1 — Fri, 10 Aug 2012 23:33:45 GMT

I have a ML350 g5 ilo 2

I need to login from a windows 7 laptop

no dhcp servers involved

My latop gets ip from my isp provider

I do not want the server on any network at all.

I just want to connect to the ilo from my laptop directly with a cable to the ilo 2.

question 1 ,

do I need a patch crossover cable / or a standard ethernet cable for the direct connection ?

I know I can

Press F8 on boot to enter into ILO Configuration.

Then go to Users -> Modify user and change the ILO admin password .and create a new dns name too

question 2

my laptops ip is 192.168.1.5 and the laptops gateway is 192.168.1.1 default mask 255.255.255.0

I know i need to disable dhcp set a static ip say 192.168.1.6 so its in the same range in the ilo.

question ?

but what gateway and submask ip am i supposed to set on the server ilo if any ?

then i understand i should be able to login
http://ILOservername

I read the Hp ilo manual buit it is not clear enough for my situation.

thanks

ok, sorted the cable had an intermittent fault ,evn though the ilo activity leds lit up

BTW I used a crossover /patch cable

I used Lan cable tester to verify the issue

.A bit unbusual as the cable was brand new.
