Re: Changing Server Name In ILO

iLO 2 supports multiple methods to set the server name, including host RBSU, browser, command-line, and XML/RIBCL scripting. I recommend first updating to current iLO 2 firmware for the best results.

As far as setting the server name:
- host RBSU
- iLO 2 via browser (Administration/Access/Options)
- command-line
A) login to the iLO CLP using SSH
B) hpiLO-> cd system1
C) hpiLO-> set oemhp_server_name = TestValue
D) hpiLO-> show oemhp_server_name
/system1
Properties
oemhp_server_name=TestValue
Verbs
cd version exit show set

Re: Changing Server Name In ILO

so I see and understand that iLO2 is the recommended way - but due to sparse maintenance windows - how abou tthat procedure with:
iLO Firmware Version: 1.82

Re: Changing Server Name In ILO

The only way to do that on first-generation iLO is to reset iLO to defaults to clear the server name or to install the management agents to overwrite the current server name.

Re: Changing Server Name In ILO

Is there any posibility to reset the imported certificate via ssh to an ILO4? ( my current certificate is giving me when accessing via web is giving me "sec_error_pkcs11_device_error"  )

 

From the documentation i saw that by reseting to factory defaults or changing the hostname . ( I suppose the factory defaults will reset the ip address also )

 

Is there any posibility to change the hostname and reboot ilo without losing the network settings?

 

Thank you.

Re: Changing Server Name In ILO

You can just rename iLO.  Once iLO reboots and notices that the name on certificate doesn't match the new iLO name, iLO will discard the old certificate and replace it with a new self-signed cert.

Re: Changing Server Name In ILO

I got it to work by changing the "iLO Subsystem Name (Host Name)"

 

It's found under "Network" -> "iLo Dedicated Network Port" and the tab "General"

 

Type the name you want - submit and reset.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Best Regards
