Configuring iLO 2 70

Enter the IP address of the host server. The protocol (https://) and port number (:2381) are automatically

added to the IP address or DNS name to allow access to the Insight Management Web Agents from iLO
2.
If the Insight Manager Web Agent URL is set through another method (for example, CPQLOCFG), click

the refresh button of your browser to display the updated URL.
The Level of Data Returned setting controls the content of an anonymous discovery message received by
iLO 2. The information returned is used for Insight Manager HTTP identification requests. The following

options are available:

Enabled (default) allows Insight Manager to associate the management processor with the host
server and provides sufficient data to allow integration with HP SIM.

Disabled prevents iLO 2 from responding to the HP SIM requests.

View XML Reply enables you to examine the data returned at the settings.
View the response that will be returned to Insight Manager when it requests Management Processor

identification using this link.

ProLiant BL p-Class configuration

ProLiant BL p-Class servers can be accessed and configured through the:

iLO 2 Diagnostic Port on the front of the server

"Browser-based setup ("

Setting up iLO 2 using the browser-based option

" on page

)" which

initially configures the system through the iLO 2 Diagnostic Port

Step-by-step installation wizard through HP BladeSystem Setup

On select p-Class blades in enclosures with updated management backplanes that support high-density

blades, iLO 2 can be used for initial enclosure static IP configuration. Initial configuration of the blade in

bay 1 allows all subsequent iLO 2s in the enclosure to receive predetermined static IP assignments. This

feature is supported in iLO 1.55 and later.

ProLiant BL p-Class user requirements

Users must have the Configure iLO 2 Settings privilege.

A network connection to iLO 2 must be available and functioning properly.

Static IP bay configuration

Static IP bay configuration is implemented using the Static IP Bay Settings option on the BL p-Class tab.

This option eases the initial deployment of an entire enclosure or the subsequent deployment of blades
within an existing enclosure. While the preferred method for assigning IP addresses to the iLO 2 in each

blade server is through DHCP and DNS, these protocols are not always available on nonproduction

networks.
