HP Integrity iLO 3 Operations Guide

Configurable parameters include the following:

• iLO 3 MP IP address

• DHCP status (default is enabled)

When DHCP is enabled, the IP address, gateway IP address and subnet mask are obtained

through DHCP. These parameters cannot be changed manually without first disabling

DHCP.

◦

◦ If you change the DHCP status to enabled or disabled, the IP address, subnet mask, and

gateway address are set to the default values (0.0.0.0), and the DNS parameters are

voided.

◦ When you change the DHCP status from enabled to disabled, the DNS parameters for

DHCP are set to disabled, and the Register with DDNS parameter is set to No.

◦ When you change the DHCP status from disabled to enabled, the DNS parameters for

DHCP are set to enabled, and the Register with DDNS parameter is set to Yes.

• iLO 3 MP host name

The iLO 3 MP host name set in this command is displayed at the iLO 3 MP command

mode prompt. Its primary purpose is to identify the iLO MP LAN interface in a DNS

database.

◦

◦ If you change the iLO 3 MP host name and the IP address was obtained through DHCP

and DDNS is registered, a delete old name request for the old host name and an add

name request for the new host name are sent to the DDNS server.

◦ Typically you enter the DNS name for the LAN IP. You can program this field to any useful

name or phrase. For clarity, enter MPNAME-on-SYSTEM as the MP Host name, so both

names show up in the prompt. The limit is 31 characters, and no spaces are allowed.

• Subnet mask

• Gateway IP address

• Local console serial port

• Link state

IMPORTANT: On Integrity rx2800 i2/i4 servers, the link state 1000BaseT option (or Duplex

Option) is not currently supported.

An Integrity rx2800 i2/i4 server can run at 1000BaseT, but only if the switch it connects to

supports auto-negotiate to 1000BaseT, and the rx2800 i2/i4 server is similarly set to

auto-negotiate. If you want to set a specific LAN speed (10BaseT or 100BaseT), those are the

only options that iLO 3 currently supports.

• SSH access port number

Command line usage and scripting:

LC [ -ip <ipaddr> ] [ -subnet <subnet> ] [ -gateway <ipaddr> ]

[ -link <auto|x(10BT)|c(100BT)> ] [ -option <full|half> ]

[ -host <text> ] [ -rsc <n> ] [ -ssh <n> ] [ -dhcp <e|d> ] [ -nc ]
