4.
From this client system, open a command prompt window. Navigate to the directory containing the
5.
DVC.DLL file and enter regsvr32 dvc.dll.

Inability to get SNMP information from HP SIM

The agents running on the managed server supply SNMP information to HP SIM. For agents to pass
information through iLO 2, iLO 2 device drivers must be installed. Refer to the "Installing iLO 2 Device
Drivers" section for installation instructions.
If you have installed the drivers and agents for iLO 2, verify that iLO 2 and the management PC are on
the same subnet. You can verify this quickly by pinging iLO 2 from the management PC. Consult your
network administrator for proper routes to access the network interface of iLO 2.

Incorrect time or date of the entries in the event log

You can update the time and date on iLO 2 by running the RBSU. This utility automatically sets the time
and date on the processor using the server time and date. The time and date are also updated by Insight
Management agents on supported network operating systems.

Inability to upgrade iLO 2 firmware

If you attempt to upgrade the iLO 2 firmware and it does not respond, does not accept the firmware
upgrade, or is terminated before a successful upgrade, you can use one of the following options to
restore your iLO 2 firmware. Consult the iLO 2 scripting and command-line resource guide for details on
using the scripting capabilities of iLO 2.
