Accessing iLO 2 With No Network Connection
1. Connect the RS‐232 port on the SUV cable to the SUV cable port on the server blade. See the
HP Integrity Installation Guide for your server blade for the location of the SUV cable port.
2. Connect a DB9f to DB9f cable to the RS‐232 port on the SUV cable.
3. Connect the other end of the DB9f to DB9f cable to a terminal emulator.
Once you are physically connected, the next step is to configure the console. The following sections
provide high‐level console configuration information. For detailed information on configuring the
console, see the HP Integrity Installation Guide included with the server blade documentation.
iLO 2 MP LAN
DHCP with DNS is the HP‐recommended method to configure the LAN. DHCP with DNS comes
preconfigured with default factory settings, including a default user account and password. By
default, the iLO 2 MP LAN uses DHCP to retrieve a new LAN address for itself. When this occurs,
the default DNS name is set to mp<MACADDRESS>.
The MAC address for the iLO 2 MP LAN is printed on a label on the server blade. If Dynamic DNS
(DDNS) is enabled in the data center, the DNS server automatically registers the new name and
enables you to access iLO 2 through the web browser by entering https://mp<MACADDRESS>/, or
through telnet at DNS name mp<MACADDRESS>. For example, if the MAC address is 00306e22b403,
enter the following URL: https://mp00306e22b403/.
For information on iLO 2, see the HP Integrity Integrated Lights‐Out 2 Operations Guide on the HP
website at: http://www.docs.hp.com/en/hw.html and search for your server blade product number.
Accessing vMedia to Boot or Install an Operating System
vMedia provides you with virtual devices that mimic physical hardware devices, such as a virtual
CD/DVD drive that connects through the network to the managed server just as if it was physically
connected. With vMedia you can boot and install an OS from the network drives.
Booting from the iLO 2 virtual CD/DVD enables you to deploy an operating system from network
drives with DVD or CDs that contain data in the El Torito Bootable CD format.
