iLO2 is set up but I'm unable to log in.

Hello,

I'm somewhat of a rookie at this. I purchased a used Proliant ml350 G6 to help me learn so I have something here at home to work with.

I followed the instructions I found for setting up iLO3 on a G7 server. Disabling splash screen, going into F8 and set up (even though I have iLO2 on a G6)

DNS/DHCP disabled, ip/dns/gateway all set correctly

I set a password and then saved info and power cycled the server.

I'm able to access the iLO2 ip address from any device on my network but all I get is an error screen

Establishing a secure Integrated Lights Out session with host is unnamed at 192.168.0.113

Note: When the 'Security Alert' panel is displayed, you must select 'Yes' to accept the certificate to access Integrated Lights-Out.

Does this refer to the messages doing boot up?

I'll attach a couple of screenshots and will reply with info as requested.

The ILO is trying to switch from http to https.

The ILO firmware is veeeery old, AFAIR the protocol used is now blocked by chrome and others.

You should first try to update ILO firmware, then test again, may internet explorer gives a warning, but works.

Hi Torsten,

I've tried a couple different ways to update the firmware via this website. Is there somewhere else I can look? Heck, I've even tried checking google for driver download links that aren't questionable. haha.

Every time, it stops the install because my O/S isn't supported.

I have tried troubleshooting for compatibility but it won't let me install.

What if I isntall Server 2008 as a virtual machine, might i be able to update them then?

You can download the HPE Lights-Out XML Scripting Samples for Windows or Linux and send the firmware update from another system using the iLO XML scripting tools

You will need to extract the iLO firmware image from the EXE or RPM file to upload via the XML scripting. The is an example script called Update_Firmware.xml included in the above packages
