Operating the workstation blade 12

connection request from a client computer, which results in an RGS connection failure appearing on the client

computer. When WOL occurs, the workstation blade boots into your operating system, an RGS connection
can be established by the client computer.

Configuring and verifying networking

You must verify that the workstation blade is accessible over the network using NIC1, NIC2, and iLO 2. By

default, the NIC1, NIC2, and iLO 2 IP addresses are set by DHCP. Therefore, ensure that the workstation
blade can connect to a DHCP server.

Configuring NIC 1 and NIC 2

The following steps are based on continued use of a keyboard, mouse, and monitor connected to the Local
I/O Cable.
To verify NIC1 and NIC2:

1.

Choose one of the following options:

o

From a Windows® operating system, use the ipconfig command to verify that the NIC1 and

NIC2 IP addresses have been set by DHCP.

o

Specify a static IP address and Subnet mask for each NIC.

2.

To verify NIC1 and NIC2 operation, access the blade SMH from your PC. Point a browser window at
each IP address using HTTPS protocol and port 2381. The SMH page appears using each NIC.

Verifying iLO 2 network

1.

Obtain the iLO 2 IP address by choosing one of the following methods:

o

Reboot the blade. During the reboot, the boot console displays the iLO 2 IP address.

o

Log in to SMH, and click Embedded NEC98431 under Management Processor, which displays the
iLO 2 IP address.

o

Use Onboard Administrator.

2.

Point your PC browser window to the iLO 2 IP address (using HTTPS). The login screen appears.

Installing, configuring, and verifying RGS

RGS (specifically, the RGS Sender) is not factory-installed on the workstation blade. You must obtain RGS

from HP, and then have it installed on your workstation blade. A License Agreement Certificate is shipped

with your workstation blade that enables you to download RGS at no cost from HP. See the certificate for
downloading instructions.
You can also purchase RGS 5.3.0 on the RGS homepage (

http://www.hp.com/go/rgs

). RGS requires

installation of a license to operate. For details, see the HP RGS Licensing Guide, available on the RGS

homepage.
For installation instructions, see the HP Remote Graphics User Guide.
