Console Quick Start HP Integrity BL c-Class Servers Use this console quick start for an HP Integrity BL c‐Class server blade installed in the enclosure, set up, and ready to connect to a host console. This console quick start only provides basic steps. For detailed information, see the HP Integrity Installation Guide for your server blade or the HP Integrity Integrated Lights‐Out 2 Operations Guide. To connect to a host console, use one of the following methods:  Accessing iLO 2 With DHCP Enabled.
PAGE 2
5. Access iLO 2 through telnet, SSH, or the web using the DHCP‐assigned IP address. 6. Access vMedia to boot or install the operating system. See Access vMedia to Boot or Install an Operating System below for instructions. Accessing iLO 2 With No Network Connection 1. Connect the RS‐232 port on the SUV cable to the SUV cable port on the server blade. See the HP Integrity Installation Guide for your server blade for the location of the SUV cable port. 2.

To access iLO 2 vMedia devices, follow these steps: 1. After you access iLO 2, click Web Administration to access the web interface. 2. Enter Admin in the User Name field, and enter Admin in the Password field. Important For security purposes, HP recommends changing the default login. 3. Click the Virtual Media tab, and click Launch to load the vMedia applet and connect to the available USB CD/DVD devices. The vMedia applet must remain open when using a virtual media device. 4.

HP‐UX and OpenVMS The HP‐UX and OpenVMS operating systems use the console connection of the iLO 2 MP as the default console. However, if the iLO 2 MP console path is not selected in the EFI Boot Manager Console Configuration menu, HP‐UX messages may not be presented to the console device. Also, HP‐UX systems typically must only have the iLO 2 MP console path selected in the EFI Boot Manager Console Configuration menu. You can also use VGA to connect consoles that use HP‐UX and OpenVMS operating systems.
