Troubleshooting iLO 2 212
7. Use the following command to execute the iLO 2 firmware update in direct mode:
sh CP012108.scexe --direct (this parameter requires two dash (--) characters)
8. Once the iLO 2 firmware upgrade completes, power the server off and set the iLO 2 Security Override
Switch on the system board to Off.
iLO 2 does not respond to SSL requests
iLO 2 does not respond to SSL requests when a Java™ warning appears. If a user is logging into an iLO
2 browser connection and does not complete the login process by responding to the Java™ certificate
warning, iLO 2 does not respond to future browser requests. The user must continue the login process to
free the iLO 2 Web server.
Testing SSL
The following test checks for the correct security dialog prompt. A non-working server will proceed to a
Page cannot be displayed message. If this test fails, your domain controller is not accepting SSL
connections, and probably has not been issued a certificate.
1. Open a browser and navigate to <https://<domain controller>:636.
You can substitute <domain> in place of <domain controller> which goes to the DNS and checks
which domain controller is handling requests for the domain. Test multiple domain controllers to
verify all of them have been issued a certificate.
2. If SSL is operating correctly on the domain controller (a certificate is issued), you are prompted with
a security message asking if you want to proceed with accessing the site, or view the server’s
certificate. Clicking Yes does not display a web page. This is normal. This process is automatic, but
might require rebooting. To avoid rebooting:
a. Open the MMC and add the certificates snap-in. When prompted, select Computer Account for
the type of certificates you want to view. Click OK to return to the certificates snap in.
b. Select Personal>Certificates folder. Right-click the folder and select Request New Certificate.
c. Verify Type is domain controller and click Next until a certificate is used.
You can also use Microsoft® LDP tool to verify SSL connections. For more information on the LDP tool, go
to the Microsoft® website ( http://www.microsoft.com/support ).
An old certificate can cause problems with SSL can on the domain controller when it points to a
previously trusted CA with the same name, which is rare but might happen if a certificate service is added
and removed and then added again on the domain controller. To remove old certificates and issue a new
one follow the instructions in Step 2.
Resetting iLO 2
In rare instances, it might be necessary to reset iLO 2; for example, if iLO 2 is not responding to the
browser. To reset iLO 2, you must power down the server and disconnect the power supplies completely.
iLO 2 might reset itself in certain instances. For example, an internal iLO 2 watchdog timer resets if the
firmware detects an iLO 2 problem. If a firmware upgrade is completed or a network setting is changed,
iLO 2 also resets.
