HP XC System Software Installation Guide Version 3.1

C Enabling telnet on iLO and iLO2 Devices
The procedure described in this appendix applies only to HP XC systems with nodes that use Integrated
Lights Out (iLO or iLO2) as the console management device.
New nodes that are managed with iLO or iLO2 console management connections that have never been
installed with HP XC software may have iLO interfaces that have not been configured properly for HP
XC operation. In order for the discover command to discover the console ports and for the console
management facility (CMF) to function, the iLO devices must have telnet enabled.

C.1 iLO Devices
Follow this procedure to enable telnet on iLO devices:
1. After the discover command fails, view the /etc/dhcpd.conf file to determine the console ports
connected to the nodes. You can identify console ports by the characters cp- in the host name. The
switch and port number are shown in a comment at the end of the entry. Make sure you are looking
at the correct switch to identify the console port.
