Blade server mgmt thru iLO from host OS, without IP address
I want to be able to access the iLO firmware from the host OS - so that I can do some blade management activities, without having to use the IP address of iLO.
Is there anyway, that I can do that? I would prefer not to use any new device driver on the host OS for the same.
So, here's a rundown of my scenario:
o I have access to the host OS of a blade, using its IP address.
o Due to specific needs, I do not know the IP address of the iLO NIC, neither its DNS name.
o I am using vRacks (Blades connected to a switch) - so, anything that is specific to the physical Rack will not be usable for me.
o I need to access iLO from the host OS, without having to install any new drivers on the host OS.
Thanks and regards,
Arijit

Re: Blade server mgmt thru iLO from host OS, without IP address
After I posted the message, a few more readings revealed that I could use HPONCFG - in which, I could use the same XML files as is used for locfg. So, am testing this out. However, it requires a Driver to be installed - and also, I did not find a RPM for RHEL - so will perhaps. have to check the distro to use by trial and error.
This aside, if there is any better option, I will be elated to learn that.
Thanks a lot for all the help,
Regards,

Re: Blade server mgmt thru iLO from host OS, without IP address
If you are using the HP management agents, the system management home page will have an iLO link containing the iLO IP address and name. However, the agents require the driver to get this information from iLO.

Re: Blade server mgmt thru iLO from host OS, without IP address
From what I understand, the drivers are required for ability to read the General registers in iLO memory.
I, ofcourse, can be completely wrong.
Thanks and regards,

Re: Blade server mgmt thru iLO from host OS, without IP address
No insight management devices available
(missing or disabled) on this system.
I found a thread on the same topic - but it did not have much information. So, was wondering, if anyone could help me out.
Thanks and regards,
Arijit
