HP XC System Software Installation Guide Version 4.0

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 might 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.
