ILO offline after mistyping static ip address

[Kerry Quillen]

We discovered that one of our ILO's had a static ip assigned that belonged to another device.  When setting a new ip for the ILO, it was mis-entered and now the ILO is offline.  I can't figure out a way to access it to correct the ip.

Please change the ILO IP by below given steps. aftyer that assign in one view.

Access the iLO Configuration Utility:

• During the server's POST (Power-On Self-Test) sequence, press the F9 key repeatedly to enter the BIOS settings. 
• Navigate to System Configuration using the arrow keys and press Enter. 
• Select iLO 5 Configuration Utility (or similar for your iLO version) and press Enter.
  • Select Network Options or a similar setting. 
  • If DHCP is enabled, disable it by toggling the setting to Off. 
  • Enter the desired IP address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway IP address.
• Press F12 to save the changes and exit the iLO Configuration Utility. 
• Confirm any prompts to reset the iLO.

@rabindra11sharm, - thanks for the info but I cannot access the ILo at all so there is no way to press F9.  I did find an artcle last night saying that by SSH'ing into the composer will allow console access.  Trying that this morning

Dear  Kerry Quillen 

there is two way to reconfigure ILO. first you have to manually connect monitor, K/B & mouse to reconfigure the iLO settings or secondly press UID button one time it will showing you on display what the current IP configured for IPV4 and IPV6, you can able to connect your server with displayed IPV4 and IPV6 to re-configure IP address.

You can connect to a text based ILO using the console view from OneView.  Using putty, ssh to the Composer IP and l;ogin with the Administrator account. At the "main-view" prompt type "console-view".  At the console view you can do a "show blade list" to see the list of computes. You will connect to the text console using "connect blade <enclosurename> <baynumber>.  Once connect then power down the compute from oneview and power it back up. On the text console you will see the boot up process. You will get to the RBSU by pressing "esc+9" when prompted.  Here go to "System Configuration--->ILO 5 Configuration Utility".  From here you can change the network settings for the ILO.
