How to configure ILO

[christian_pitet]

Hi

I am sorry i don't know how to setup an IP address. The server is running Linux Red Hat.

[Torsten. · Accepted solution]

google will help you to find a how-to to set the ip address.

but you cannot use windows remote desktop (unless you do some modifications to linux), you need something different, e.g. mobaxterm ...

I have set up static address. But the server is set up also on the same IP address for ILO. Is that a problem ?

[Torsten.]

Duplicated IP addresses are always a problem.

The IP for the OS and for ILO MUST be different.

[christian_pitet]

I do not need ILO; Hwo to disable it ?

[Torsten.]

Better to have ILO for monitoring hardware, alerts, remote console, virtual media ... just assign a different IP address.

I have setup ILO for DHCP dynamic IP address assignement. Is that correct ?

Do you have a DHCP server?

If not, use a static IP address.

[christian_pitet]

There is a DHCP server. I have set up ILO for use the DHCP server.

On the other hand, I can ping the linux server (I have configured the network) but I cannot "see" it on the windows network.

I have downloaded mobaxterm but i don't know how to open a new session with the linux server.

So you should now be able to access ILO via browser using the ILO network name.

You cannot "see" the server from windows because the server probably does not provide any windows related services.

If starting mobaxterm, connect to the server like

> ssh myusername@myserver

and you get a shell and can run even graphical applications (test with "xclock" for example).
