ILO offline after mistyping static ip address

Kerry Quillen — Mon, 23 Jun 2025 10:08:43 GMT

We discovered that one of our ILO's had a static ip assigned that belonged to another device. When setting a new ip for the ILO, it was mis-entered and now the ILO is offline. I can't figure out a way to access it to correct the ip.

@rabindra11sharm, - thanks for the info but I cannot access the ILo at all so there is no way to press F9. I did find an artcle last night saying that by SSH'ing into the composer will allow console access. Trying that this morning

You can connect to a text based ILO using the console view from OneView. Using putty, ssh to the Composer IP and l;ogin with the Administrator account. At the "main-view" prompt type "console-view". At the console view you can do a "show blade list" to see the list of computes. You will connect to the text console using "connect blade <enclosurename> <baynumber>. Once connect then power down the compute from oneview and power it back up. On the text console you will see the boot up process. You will get to the RBSU by pressing "esc+9" when prompted. Here go to "System Configuration--->ILO 5 Configuration Utility". From here you can change the network settings for the ILO.
