Riloe II config problem

Bernie Pechlaner — Thu, 18 Dec 2003 08:49:32 GMT

Hi,

DL 580 G2 w / RILOE II (firmware 1.10)in slot 1 -- Choosing F8 during boot gets me into the menue...but the cursor is running down the left side of the screen over and over...choosing a menue option is impossible.
Any ideas?

Thanks,

Bernie

Hi Bernie

Our DL580 G2's have Integrated Management Boards. Why would you use the PCI variant in this model server?

Bernie,
Try disabling the iLO...there may be a conflict between the RILOE II and the iLO.

You may want to update the iLO firmware to 1.27 or later. The newer iLO fw will disable itself when RILOEII is install in the server.

It sounds like using RILOE II's in servers that have ILO is common place, however, I don't see the benefits of doing so. Can anyone enlighten me?

Hi Guys,

The Integrated Rib is disabled...at least it says so during bootup.
Have to use the RILOE II -- it is our standard. And I also have to use firmware version 1.10...and we have a few DL580 that work fine with the configuration mentioned above...

Thanks,

Bernie

Do this same card act the same way on a different server? Have you try a different RILOEII card in this DL580 G2?

RILOE-II provides better performance in remote console, provides original Virtual floppy support, Survey support, and iPAQ support as well.
