For HP Integrity server blades, the CA command also provides an option to change between the
Integrity iLO mode or the dedicated AUX UART mode. Switching to AUX UART mode when MP
remote access is disabled or LAN parameters are not configured requires a push button reset to
change back to iLO MP mode.
NOTE: Inconsistent bit rate settings can result in improper MP UI while switching between these
modes.
The operation mode settings are saved on the MP NVRAM and are permanent for reset and
firmware upgrade of iLO 2, but the settings are not permanent for power cycles or blade ejection.
For power cycle to the blade, the console serial port is set back to the iLO mode.
If you cannot access iLO 2 through Telnet and the port mode of operation is AUX UART, you must
change the port operation mode to Integrity iLO mode to access the MP through the serial port.
To change the port operation mode to iLO, perform a hard reset to the MP by pushing the recessed
push button through a hole in the front panel. The hard reset resets the MP hardware and sets the
MP to the default settings. The hard reset returns the port default connection to MP.
NOTE: Both short and long reset button presses return the port default connection to the MP.
The iLO 2 mirrors the system console to the iLO 2 MP local and LAN ports. One console output
stream is reflected to all connected console users. If several different terminal types are used
simultaneously, some users can see unexpected results.

DATE: Display date
Command access level: Login access
DATE displays the date, as best known to iLO 2. The iLO 2 clock is updated from the BMC/SFW
and cannot be modified. The realtime clock is used only when iLO 2 is first powered on or rebooted,
until it can obtain the correct date from the BMC.
Command line usage and scripting:
DATE [ -nc ]

DC (Default Configuration): Reset all parameters to default configurations
Command access level: MP configuration access
DC sets all iLO 2 parameters back to their default values. To restore specific configurations to their
default values, use the following commands:
MP IP configuration : LC -all DEFAULT
Remote Access Configuration : SA -all DEFAULT
Command Interface configuration : IT -all DEFAULT
MP Security configuration : SO -opt DEFAULT
MP Session configuration : IT -all DEFAULT
MP User configuration : UC -all DEFAULT
MP LDAP directory configuration : LDAP -all DEFAULT
SNMP Configuration : SNMP - all DEFAULT
