Configure the iLO port for remote management
This section contains the following topics:
Configure the iLO port to access the iLO remote console on page 19
Connect to iLO and launch the Integrated Remote Console (IRC) on page 20
Configure the iLO port to access the iLO remote console
You configure the iLO port to access the iLO console through a web browser. The iLO console provides out-ofband remote
server management and access to advanced management options. Your configuration steps may include configuring IPv4,
modifying the default static IP address, enabling DHCP, or changing the default user name and password.
The server is pre-configured with a default, static IP address to access iLO (192.168.0.120). The iLO default user name and
password are found on the label attached to the top of the chassis. The user name is Administrator and the password is an
eight-character alphanumeric string.
Before you begin
Your environment meets the requirements for configuring iLO (Integrated Lights-Out) for out-of-band webbased
management.
You have the following information and items:
A Windows client laptop computer with a Web browser. You can use a MAC or Linux OS; however, this procedure
describes Windows.
An Ethernet cable to connect between the laptop and the iLO port on the server.
An IP address. The address can be static or assigned by DHCP.
A static address for the gateway, subnet mask, and, optionally, up to two DNS servers, which can be static or assigned
by DHCP.
Note: If you prefer to configure iLO at a later time, you can skip this task and deploy the server using Deployment
Manager. See the HPE OmniStack for vSphere Deployment Guide for deployment instructions.
Procedure
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port on the laptop to the iLO Ethernet port on the rear of the server.
2. If necessary, change the IPv4 address of the Ethernet port on your Windows laptop:
a) Open Network and Sharing Center in the Control Panel and click Change adapter settings.
b) Locate the icon for the Ethernet adapter, right-click it, and then select Properties. This is typically a Local Area
Connection.
c) Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click Properties.
d) Record the current settings on the General tab so that you can restore them later.
e) Check the button labeled Use the following IP address.
f) Enter an IP address in the range 192.168.0.[0-255], excluding 192.168.0.120.
g) Enter a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0.
h) Close the dialogs and exit from Network and Sharing Center.
