Server Blade Configuration and Utilities
HP recommends selecting a reasonable starting IP address, with the last digit(s)
of the address corresponding to the bay number of each blade (example:
192.168.100.1 through 192.168.100.16), the user can build an easy-to-remember
numbering system.
4. Reset Bay #1, if necessary. The blade in Bay #1 must only be reset if you intend
the blade to use a Static IP Bay Configuration address by marking the feature
enable mask for Bay #1. Before resetting the blade, you must browse to the
Network Settings page, select Enable Static IP Settings and press Apply. This
will force the blade to reboot and use the newly assigned enclosure static IP.
If multiple enclosures are deployed at the same time, the process can be repeated
easily by moving a single blade to Bay #1 of each enclosure to perform the
configuration.
Configuring Static IP Bay Settings
Static IP bay settings, available on the BL p-Class tab, allow you to configure and
deploy the blade server.
The Enable Static IP Bay Configuration Settings checkbox, available on the Network
Settings tab (not shown), allows you to enable or disable Static IP Bay Configuration.
The new Enable Static IP Bay Configuration Settings option, is only available on
blade servers. When Static IP Bay Configuration is enabled, all fields except iLO
Subsystem Name are disabled. Only Static IP Bay Configuration or DHCP can be
enabled at one time. Disabling both Static IP Bay Configuration and DHCP will
signal iLO to use a user defined IP address. The Enable Static IP Bay Configuration
Settings option will remain disabled if the infrastructure does not support Static IP
Bay Configuration. Refer to Figure 5-1 for the Static IP Bay Configuration screen.
