BL860c Itanium Blade Question.

The Brit — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 10:20:34 GMT

I am raising this question here because any OpenVMS Blade users have probably come up against this problem.

The question is this...

How do we get OpenVMS (on an Itanium Blade) to pass the Server Hostname to the Onboard Administrator, so that it can be displayed in the "Device Bays" page.

Proliants dont seem to have a problem with this, but Itanium blades just default to "Model - Serial Number".

It would be really nice to look at the Device display and see which hosts are running in which bays.

Thanks

Dave.

Yes, I saw this. It kinda reminded me that this was an unresolved issue for me.

My guess is, that it will need some sort of driver to do so.

But you could try to rename the ILo

I guess this answer is still unknown.
