Hi Chang Che-Lun,

It is typically necessary to access the server's BIOS or firmware settings during boot time to configure iLO (Integrated Lights-Out) for HPE Block Storage MP controllers.

Here are some general steps to configure iLO:

1. Power on or restart the HPE Alletra Storage MP controller, and the prompt will ask you to enter the BIOS or setup of the controller during boot.
2. Navigate to the iLO configuration section in the controller setup or BIOS. The category might be "Server Management," "Remote Management," or "Integrated Devices."
3. You can configure the IP address for iLO in the iLO settings. Usually, the network settings section is where you do this. Put in the gateway, subnet mask, and desired IP address.
4. Once the IP address has been configured, save your modifications and close the setup or BIOS. After the iLO configuration, the controllers will restart.
5. Open a web browser on a PC linked to the same network as soon as the controller comes back online. In the address bar, type the IP address of the iLO.
6. An invitation to log into the iLO online interface will appear. Utilize the credentials that were set up or supplied during the setup procedure.
7. After a successful login, you can access remote console capabilities, check controller health, and carry out a variety of administrative tasks via the iLO web interface.

Hope this helps.

Hi Satish

thanks your reply,

I connect to the console to operation these step,

I meet some problem

1.the screen is the iLO CLI Mode,

when I into the Alletra Block Storage MP Console,

how to return to iLO Console ?

2.I into to direct serial port, how to rebutn to iLO Console ?

3.I use the 'shutdownsys restart 0' command,

but it seems be takeover and switch to node 1 without switch Serial port position to node 1,

and I still in iLO session

so I can't see the node 0 reboot screem,

How can I do ?

Hi Chang Che-Lun,

1. You can use the "ESC" key to get back to the iLO Console from the HPE Alletra Storage MP Console. This should bring you back to the iLO CLI Mode.
2. The escape sequence is required if you want to return to the iLO Console while connected to the direct serial port. In most cases, it's "CTRL+]".
The iLO Console should appear after you exit the serial port session.
3. If the "shutdownsys restart" command does not switch the serial port position correctly, you may want to manually switch to node 1 before issuing the reboot command.

If the issue persists, I recommend reaching out to HPE Alletra Storage MP support to resolve the issue.

Hope this helps.
