Cannot access ILO-2 on my DL160-G5

[Greg Tarsa]

I just purchased a used DL360-G5 for hobby use from Ebay.  It runs fine, but apparently its ILO-2 is not set up for DHCP, I cannot determine the network address it is set to and when booting the system give me no opportunity to get into the RSBU.

I see tantalizing mentions of an ILO-override switch for many HP platforms, but can find no such switch on my mainboard.

I am running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on the box.  For reasons unknown, the hp-health package will not install (error: not supported), so I have not been able to install the Debian hponcfg utility.

Anyone have any advice for how I might proceed to getting into my ILO?

Thanks,

Greg

Hello,

Is this a DL160 G5 or DL360 G5?

DL160 G5 does not have iLO but has Lights Out 100i.

Click here to see how to use Lights Out 100i.  (Refer to page#10 for configuration)

DL360 G5 has iLO 2.

Click here to access DL360 G5 Maintenance and Service Guide. (Refer to page#76 for System maintenance switch)

Thank You!
I am a HP employee

This is, indeed, a DL160.  No wonder my web searches were coming up empty.

I will look over the docs tonight and see if they will help me get going.

Thanks,

Greg
