iLO DNS

Hi,

All the stuff I've read on iLOs so far does not mention entering the iLO DNS name into your DNS Servers...

is there some magic going on (ie how do I browse to a name that is not in my DNS), or do I have to enter the a new record into my DNS Servers?

If that is the case, surely we are running a risk of having the DHCP assigned address changing in the future, then making the DNS entry out of date?

Thanks for helping!

Hi Mark,

You have to either have your DHCP server register the addresses in DNS for you, manually create the entries, or enable DDNS registration in iLO:

>Administration tab
.>Network link
..>DDNS Server Registration: Set Enabled

Good luck!
