How do i connect to iLO

[psycho.chicken]

I have several servers with iLO
some with iLO 1, but most with iLO 2.

They are getting IP's but hp's docs suck.. or my googleing sucks...

I thought you went to a http://serverip to view the iLO interface...

When i try to load the windows management interface it says it says the Insight Management Agents arent installed...

[ffalcone]

try https://ilo ip

If you are using DHCP, look in DHCP Manager for the ILO serial numer (it will be on the tag attached to the server). On that tag is also the username and password you will need to access for the first time. Once on the interface, go to Administration and create yourself another user other than Administrator. While still logged in as Administrator, make all of your changes. Get comfortable using this interface as it makes your life very easy once set up.

you can use (if this is W2003 if not look for W2000)

I almost forgot


"Install it on the server. You can use it to extract the iLO configuration into an XML file. Edit the file to correct the IP address, then use the utility to feed the configuration back to the iLO."

Tried that...

The software is not supported for installation on this system.

The installation program couldn't find the Insight Management Agents which are required but is not currently installed. Please install these agents and then rerun the setup program.

Press 'Close' to exit Setup.

that's what i get

W2K3 SP2
iLO v2
have advanced license not installed...

[KarloChacon]

is the PSP proliant support pack install?

i mean the system management homepage?

I think is necessary

regards

[psycho.chicken]

yes, and there is no mention of iLO anywhere... just network adapters...

[KarloChacon]

weird my system management homepage shows me a link for that

open a browser with the ip, with that IP I use it to access the server using iLO from other computer

sometimes you get 0.0.0.0 by ip but sometimes you just need close and open again the browser or reconnect the ilo cable
