Setting up iLO Host System Information on Itanium Blades.

[The Brit]

I am running BL860c's in a c7000. The blades are at the most current f/w, VC's at 2.01, and OA's at 2.32.
On the OA, "Device Bays" screen, the BL860's show the default descriptions, i.e. "BL860c - ".

From other posts on this forum, it is indicated that the Host System "Name", "OS", etc., can only be set at the OS level. I am running OpenVMS 8.3-1H1. Can anyone tell me what utility/command I use to pass the system information to the iLO.
Currently the iLO shows

MP:CM> ID

ID

System Information Menu:
T - Asset Tag Information
H - Host System Configuration
P - SNMP Contact Person
S - SNMP Server Information

Enter menu item or [Q] to Quit: h

Hi Dave,

don't know this for Open VMS but to see the hostname in the ILO/MP (and consequently the OA GUI) the OS needs to be up and running, once the OS is shut down the name dissapears again in both the iLO and OA GUI and reverts back to some model and/or serialnr name.

The OA f/w 2.41 contains some fixes related to the hostname shown in the OA GUI which at times can be a scrambled anme.

just fyi
