ML370 G3 configuring ILO

[Lee Hallin]

I have this old server that I am trying to configure the ILO port on. I interupt the boot by pressing F8 to config ILO. There I have 2 options: EXIT or FACTORY DEFAULTS. I select FACTORY DEFAULTS. Next I have two choices; one to set FACTORY DEFAULTS (F10) and the other to exit. I select FACTORY DEFAULTS, it indicates ILO has been reset. I hit ENTER and it exits and proceeds with the boot.

My question is Now what? How do I find the IP address it is using; assuming one has been set thru the FACTORY DEFAULTS? I went into BIOS and couldn't find anything ILO related except one of the displays showed the interupts in use by ILO. On the web, I found references to two programs: HPONCFG and CPQLOCFG neither of which are present on the Windows 2000 OS.

Any ideas?

TIA .. Lee

Try using the left and right arrow keys to access the other drop-down menus. You should have options listed to the side for File (selected by default, with the options you listed) Network, Users, and a couple others I do not use.

Thank you SO much Saberus! That was what I was missing! There was NO INDICATION to use arrows so me and two co-workers never thought to try :-(

Looks like I'm good to go now. Thanks :-)
