DescriptionField
The IP address of the OA.
IMPORTANT: Integrity iLO 2 must have a reachable IP address as the default gateway
address. Since the OA is always reachable, HP recommends using the OA IP address
as the gateway address for Integrity iLO 2. If you use the Enclosure IP mode, this solution
works during a failover. In the Enclosure IP mode, a static IP address is assigned to the
active OA, and during a failover, the same IP address follows the active OA. If the OA
IP address is assigned using DHCP, the solution does not work. In such instances, HP
recommends manually changing the iLO 2 gateway address.

This is used to logically group together enclosures in a rack. The rack name is shared
with the other enclosures in the rack.

The enclosure can support as many as eight HP Integrity server blades. When viewed
from the rack front, the bays are numbered from left to right and from 1 to 8. The bay
number is used to locate and identify a server blade.

This allows you to turn the enclosure Locator UID LED on or off. The iLO Configuration
access right is needed. If a user does not have sufficient rights, the button is disabled.

Before setting up the HP BladeSystem OA, HP recommends that you read the HP BladeSystem
Onboard Administrator User Guide on the HP website at:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00705292/c00705292.pdf
Reading this guide ensures that you will obtain an overall understanding of the HP BladeSystem
OA and that you properly complete the initial setup to facilitate proper functioning of the OA.
The HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator User Guide provides the following information in
detail:
• Access Requirements
• Running the OA for the first time
• Signing in to the OA GUI
• Running the setup wizard
• Using online help
• Changing enclosure and device configurations
• Recovering the administrator password
• Flash disaster recovery
Help
The iLO 2 has a robust help system.
