3. Enter the following information in the iLO Hostname Settings section:
•
iLO Subsystem Name (Host Name)—The DNS name of the iLO subsystem (for example,
ilo
instead of ilo.example.com). This name can be used only if DHCP and DNS
are configured to connect to the iLO subsystem name instead of the IP address.
iLO subsystem-name limitations follow:
◦ Name service limitations—The subsystem name is used as part of the DNS name.
DNS allows alphanumeric characters and hyphens. –
– Name service limitations also apply to the Domain Name.
◦ Namespace issues—To avoid these issues:
– Do not use the underscore character.
– Limit subsystem names to 15 characters.
– Verify that you can ping iLO by IP address and by DNS/WINS name.
– Verify that NSLOOKUP resolves the iLO network address correctly and that no
namespace conflicts exist.
– If you are using both DNS and WINS, verify that they resolve the iLO network
address correctly.
– Flush the DNS name if you make any namespace changes.
•
Domain Name—The iLO domain name. If DHCP is not used, enter a domain name.
4. Enter the following information in the NIC Settings section:
•
Select the Use iLO Dedicated Network Port or Use Shared Network Port check box to
enable or disable the iLO Dedicated Network Port or Shared Network Port.
◦ Use iLO Dedicated Network Port—Uses a NIC with a jack on the back of the server.
The NIC handles iLO traffic only.
◦ Shared Network Port – LOM—Uses a NIC that is built into the server. The NIC handles
server network traffic and can, if iLO is configured to do so, handle iLO traffic at the
same time.
◦ Shared Network Port Enabled Standup NIC—An optional NIC that plugs into a PCI
slot on the server and requires a special cable to connect it to the server motherboard.
The NIC handles server network traffic and can, if iLO is configured to do so, handle
iLO traffic at the same time.
On systems that have more than one Shared Network Port option, select the check box,
and then select a Shared Network Port option.
•
Select a Link State (iLO Dedicated Network Port only).
The link setting controls the speed and duplex settings of the iLO network transceiver.
NOTE: This setting is not available on blade servers.
The available settings follow:
◦ Auto-Negotiate (default)—Enables iLO to negotiate the highest supported link speed
and duplex settings when connected to the network
◦ 100BaseT, Full-duplex—Forces a 100 Mb connection using full duplex
◦ 100BaseT, Half-duplex—Forces a 100 Mb connection using half duplex
