8. Power on the PCI power domain, and then boot the nPartition.
By default, the Lights-Out Advanced KVM card uses Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP)
to obtain an IP address. Alternatively, you can assign a static IP address to the Lights-Out
Advanced KVM card through a menu in the main iLO 2 web GUI interface or other iLO 2 MP
command line.
To remove the Lights-Out Advanced KVM card, reverse these steps.
Lights-Out Advanced KVM Card Quick Setup Steps
To perform a quick setup of the Integrity Lights-Out Advanced KVM card for vMedia and the IRC:
1. Plug the LAN cable into the MP of the core I/O card for the complex.
2. Plug the LAN cable into the LAN slot of the Lights-Out Advanced KVM card for each nPar.
NOTE: Usually, the Lights-Out Advanced KVM card obtains its IP address automatically from
a DHCP server. If you do not have a DHCP server on your network, you must manually set
the Lights-Out Advanced KVM card IP address. To manually set the Lights-Out Advanced KVM
card IP address, see “Configuring the Lights-Out Advanced KVM Card” (page 52)
3. Browse to iLO 2 (MP) and login.
a. -> Administration -> Network Settings -> Device to modify: <npar> KVM
b. -> assign a network address (DHCP or static) -> Submit.
NOTE: You may also need to set up the Domain Name Server if you are not using
DHCP.
4. Check the status of vMedia availability.
a. Virtual Media -> select partition: <npar name> -> (check status directly under “select
partition status” ) it should read “Status: vMedia is available”.
• If not, there may not be network connectivity to the Lights-Out Advanced KVM card
– check this with ARP ping.
• If the network is OK, check that another vMedia window for this complex is not open
somewhere.
NOTE: Only one vMedia window is shared among all the npars in the complex.
b. If this fails, log out of iLO 2 and log back in again.
5. Once the vMedia window opens, select Local Image File.
6. Browse to the iso file and click Connect.
NOTE: The IRC is only supported on Windows systems. You can only open one IRC session
at a time with one iLO 2 web GUI session.
7. If not yet done, go to the EFI Shell: acpiconfig windows and reset.
8. Start the IRC. If you get the following “dvc.cab unknown publisher” error:
