Access ILO from hpux

[Bill Hassell]

Have you tried the arp/ping method described above?

[uxbeginner22]

Ip is 127.0.0.1 i think is impossible to get connection

[Bill Hassell]

The arp/ping method does not use the current IP address at all. As long as the iLO is not trying to use DHCP, arp/ping will set the desired address. The instructions are very simple:

1. Find the MAC address of the iLO.

2. Type the arp command using the MAC address and the new IP address you want to use.

   The command is: arp -s <MACaddr> <newIPaddr>

3. Ping the new IP address.

If the iLO obtains a DHCP address, you'll need to connect the iLO port directly to your laptop and repeat the 3 steps.

Nice solution,but i don't know how to get arp address.

On switch there is no arp address(report only arp with ip configured)

and ipmitoool doesn't want to  compile on hpux.

[Bill Hassell · Accepted solution]

There is no current IP address needed to use the arp -s command.

You need the MAC address for the iLO port.

This written on the pull-out card in the front of the server.

On your laptop, start a DOS (cmd) window and then:

arp -s <new_IP_address_to_use_for_this_iLO_port> <the_MAC_address_from_your_server_pull_out_card>

For example:

arp -s  192.168.2.10  00-00-0c-07-ac-00
ping 192.168.2.10

arp -s sets the new address using the MAC address for this iLO port.

Then use telnet to get to the new address for the iLO (the 192.168.2.10 address above).

NOTE: The earlier example for arp in this thread had the MAC and IP address reversed.

It doesn't work.

I get addr from the frontal card.

Then i connect directly to my eth0 laptop,and doesn't work

i use on linux

arp -s 192.168.0.123 00:**:**:**:**:**

Then i connect to switch(and i see only one light is green,the other is off)

Then i try XP

arp -s 192.168.0.123 00-**-**-**-**-**

Nothing

i do last try now,connect directly to router: will work?I think no

You wrote

>> I can see the output on terminal laptop via nullmodem

What happens if you press  <CTRL> e followed by c and f ?

This should give you write access.

Make sure the serial cable is connected to the 24pin connetor at the MP card.

[uxbeginner22]

I have no cable of 25pin,i have ordered one.

What exactly do you see?

Where is your cable connected?

After connecting the power cables, you should see

Finally i found solution,the arp -s suggested by Hassel works fine.

Thanks to all for help,the problem was my network some pc cannot reach

the 10.2.0.44 static address given to hpilo via arp -s.

Only one(the pc with 10.2.0.1) can reach it,the other with route static

configured not.

This time i check with this command

/opt/propplus/bin/cprop -summary -c "Management Processor"

And i see the  10.2.0.44 static address
