ILO problem

[Dejan Cugalj]

Hello!
I have configured ILO (IP Address, Subnet mask, GW and username & password).
I cannot access to ILO management via web browser.

I have tried to ping ILO address, OK – I got respond.
I have tried:
- telnet ip_address 80 – port is open
- telnet ip_address 443 –port is open

Thx

Is your browser configured to use a proxy server? If so, try disabling that.

What happens when you try to connect with the browser?

Does it immediately display an error message, or does the error message appear only after the connection timeout (maybe even a minute or more)?

[Dejan Cugalj]

Browser does not use proxy server.

When I try to connect with browser - browser waits and waits and waits - with message in status bar "Opening page..."

Thx

Server: BL45p G1
ILO firmware version: 1.84

[Oleg Koroz · Accepted solution]

IE5.5 or IE6
Java 1.3.1 or 1.4.2
2003 / 2000 SP3 or SP4 / XP

had you tried front dongle with ip 192.168.1.1 (your laptop 192.168.1.10)
speed Auto

you can update ILO 1.89 but that shoyld not make difference

use front dongle - update thread

Just wondering how you wired your OA. Did you wire the OA into the interconnect switches in that same enclosure?

My Workstation:
Windows XP SP2
Internet Explorer 6
Java version 1.4.1

I have in p-class 2 Blade BL45p servers
1. ILO work on IP x.x.x.195
2. ILO does not work on IP x.x.x.193

[Oleg Koroz]

try next ..
set your laptop x.x.x.190 and connect cable from laptop directly to management module port, before that reseat Management module physically pull it out and set it back. check if you could pull login screen, if 1st Server works fine and second still not swap Network Mezzanine Adapter and test once again. you can try one more time reseat defaults from F8 and set only IP x.x.x.193 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
You had not mentioned if it work from front dongle 192.168.1.1 (your laptop 192.168.1.10)
You did rotate server through enclosure?
No Red LED at Management Modules?

I have tried to reset management module - and I can access to 1st server and cannot access to 2nd server :-(

There is no RED LED at Management module.

I have rotate Blade2: Bay (7-8) -> Bay (5-6).
I can access to 1st server and cannot access to 2nd server :-(

I will reset ILO on 2nd server and set IP address. (I have tried this solution)

I did not understand this operation...
"You had not mentioned if it work from front dongle 192.168.1.1 (your laptop 192.168.1.10)

Thank you

Thank you!

Problem still stay when I move server... :-(

But ILO works from front dongle :-)
IP 192.168.1.1

[Oleg Koroz]

can you rotate network adapter between two servers and check if that make any difference when you connecting from network ?
you have another management module to swap from second enclosure ?
Dejanâ ¦ just update with status, points are not necessary

[Dejan Cugalj]

I will try to rotate network adapter between 2 servers.
I don't have another management module, I have only one Blade p-class enclosure.

Thank you

SInce I've seen this one as well, for review: problematic blade had FW 1.89, than downgreaded to 1.84 (as it was on the one working well) but still the same - pings OK, but no response from http/https ...
anyone ? any idea ?

[Chris House]

I am having a similar problem - I have 8 bl480cG1 blades and using enclosure bay addressing I have assigned them a range of IPs. I can ping some of the iLOs in the range but the others time out.

If i unplug the OA eth cable and then plug it back in, i can ping some of the ILOs but not others. Usually 4 or 5 at a time, some of the same ones as before, some new ones and some ones that did work, no longer work. I can never actually ping all 8.

OA nic is connected to datacenter switch. It exibhits same behavior when connected to ethernet switch in the enclosure. Happens when using OA1 or OA2 (OA2 cabled to eth switch 2 or datacenter switch)
