iLO IP address

[Edgar Zapata]

Hello,

How can I determine the iLO IP address of a DL380?
I have access to Terminal session on the server but not through iLO.

Thanks.
Edgar.

Hi,

you can go into System Management Homepage-> Management processor link, then when you click it on the left from the task pane you must be forwarded to a link for iLO and you can see the IP address.
Else the another link for ilo must take you to the IP adress too.

There is other option I think but will check it tomorrow and will post.

Hi Zapata,

Rebooting the box and go press F8 to go into the ilo config menu will get you that.

If rebooting is not an option and you know the subnet of the ilo, set your laptop to nic with an IP on that subnet and connect your laptop with a crossover cable to the iLo and then ping the broadcast address ...

ping 10.1.10.255

replace 10.1.10. with the subnet of your ilo.

OR

there is a tool that comes with newer iLos that you can connect to the ilo port and it temporary overwrites the settings of your ilo and you can access it with 192.168.1.1 to go in and check/change the settings.

OR

run a port scanner on the ilo subnet and check for port 80 AND 443, the ilos run on both of those ports.

Hi,

Is it possible to find the iLO ip address using WMIC ?

Thanks

HI,
What is WMIC?

Thanks.

Hi,

WMIC is Windows Management Instrumentation Command line.

I'm almost sure you can use WMIC to take the iLO IP adress.

You will need to instal the WBEM Providers to get acces to ProLiant specific information, beside of the standard DMTF ones:

https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=MTX_c93c5f85ea0d471baddb6eadfe

The iLO IP Adress's Class.property is HP_ManagementProcessor.IPAddress

So a WMIC command should look like :

wmic /namespace :\\root\hpq path HP_ManagementProcessor get caption,IPAddress

I'm not very familiar with the WMIC syntax, but the Class and property are this.

Here 2 documents where you can find very useful info regarding WMI data colection:

https://techlibrary.hpe.com/docs/enterprise/servers/InsightRS/webhelp/Content/MonitoredDevices/Config_ProLiant_Windows_WMI.htm

Hope this helps

Regards
