Unable to access ILO

[LGoh]

Hi All,

Apologies if this is the wrong section or if this has been answered before.

I have HP ProLiant DL380 G7  running Win Server 2008 r2 and  HP SIM v 7.6.2.1.

I have issues getting iLO to work.

Do i need to have the NIC connected ? If yes, are there any additional software I need to install ?

How do you have iLO configured? Are you using the dedicated iLO port, or have you set iLO to share the port with NIC 1?  Both way should work fine. If using the iLO in shared port mode, you cannot connect to it from the host itself.

Hi Jimmy,

As this was previosly setup by another person who has left the company, I am unable to answer your question. 

Is there a way for me to check on how it was configured ?

You should first check the cable

During boot up, you can press F8 to get into the ILO configuration, there you can check/set user and password, and IP config.

or

reset to defaults and configure new values.

Hey Torsten,

Many thanks ! Gotta wait for the guys to stop accessing for me to do this.  

Btw are the steps in this link correct - > http://aceraspire4520.blogspot.my/2012/09/how-to-configure-ilo-in-hp-dl360-g7.html ?

This is a bit special for G7 servers.

press any key at this stage:

then press F8

and you get finally the config menu where you can set the values or do a factory reset
