operating system to interact with the server. This symptom can be misinterpreted as a system hang.

iLO 3 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 3 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 3 MP LAN is printed on a label on the server. If Dynamic DNS
(DDNS) is enabled in the data center, the DNS server automatically registers the new name and
enables you to access iLO 3 through the web browser by entering https://mp<MACADDRESS>/.
For information on iLO 3, see the HP Integrity Integrated Lights-Out 3 Operations Guide on the HP
website at: http://www.hp.com.

HP-UX

The HP-UX operating system uses the console connection of the iLO 3 MP as the default console.
However, if the iLO 3 MP console path is not selected in the UEFI Boot Manager Console
Configuration menu, HP-UX messages may not be presented to the console device. Also, HP-UX
systems should have only one console path selected in the UEFI Boot Manager Console Configuration
menu.
You can also use VGA to connect consoles that use HP-UX operating system.
For information on changing the default console and using the UEFI Boot Manager Configuration
Options, see Selecting Your HP-UX Console in the HP-UX Installation and Update Guide on the HP
website at: http://www.hp.com/go/hpux.
