Enclosure Bay Ip Addressing Screen - HP Integrity Superdome 2 16-socket User Manual

Enclosure Bay IP Addressing screen

The Onboard Administrator EBIPA feature is intended to help you provision a fixed IP address to
a particular bay in an enclosure. The components plugged into the bays are set for DHCP, and
interconnect modules are configured to use the internal management port to Onboard Administrator.
If the component is configured for a static IP address, an EBIPA assignment to that bay has no
effect.
NOTE:
If you use DHCP servers on your management network, then do not use EBIPA for management IP
address assignments.
If you use static IP addresses for management processors, Onboard Administrator CLI hponcfg
command can be used with HP ProLiant server blades to send the iLO network settings RIBCL script
to an iLO if that iLO already has an IP address. EBIPA can be used to bootstrap IP addresses to
iLOs, so that Onboard Administrator CLI hponcfg command can be used to send configuration
scripts to those iLOs. Changes to iLO network settings results in that iLO resetting its network and
breaking the current connections for a few seconds.
If the server blade is configured for static IP address, then it carries the same address even if the
blade is moved to another enclosure.
If the server blades are set for DHCP and the Onboard Administrator is configured for EBIPA for
that bay, then iLO gets an EBIPA-configured IP address when it is plugged into that enclosure.
If your network has an external DHCP service or if you want to manually assign static IP addresses
one by one to the server blades and interconnect modules, then to bypass this step, click the Skip
button.
