Configuring the RILOE II 21

When updating RILOE II drivers, be sure RILOE II is running the latest version of RILOE II firmware. You
can obtain the latest version as a Smart Component from the HP website
(

http://www.hp.com/servers/lights-out

).

To install the drivers download the PSP from the HP website (

http://www.hp.com/support

) to a NetWare

server. After downloading the PSP follow the Novell NetWare component installation instructions to
complete the installation. For additional information about the PSP installation, read the text file included
in the PSP download.

When using Novell NetWare 6.X, use the RAGE-XL video driver that is provided by the operating system
for best results.

Linux device driver support

You can download the PSP files containing the RILOE II driver, the foundation agents, and health agents
from the HP website (

http://www.hp.com/support

). The instructions on how to install or update the RILOE

II driver are available on the website. The HP Management Agents for Linux are:

ASM package (hpasm) which combines the health driver, IML viewer, foundation agents, health
agent, and standard equipment agent into one package.

RSM package (hprsm) which combines the RIB driver, rack daemon, RIB agent, and rack agent into
one package.

To load the health and RILOE II driver packages, use the following commands:

rpm –ivh hpasm-d.vv.v-pp.Linux_version.i386.rpm

rpm –ivh hprsm-d.vv.v-pp.Linux_version.i386.rpm

where d is the Linux distribution and version and
vv.v-pp are version numbers.

For additional information, refer to the Software and Drivers website (

http://www.hp.com/support

).

To remove the health and RILOE II drivers, use the following commands:

rpm –e hprsm

rpm –e hpasm

For additional information, refer to the Software and Drivers website (

Disabling DNS/DHCP

HP recommends using DNS/DHCP with the RILOE II to simplify installation. In the event that DNS/DHCP
cannot be used, use the following procedure to disable DNS/DHCP and configure the network settings:

1.

Restart or power up the server.

2.

Press the F8 key to enter the RBSU when the cursor flashes and the RILOE II prompt displays on the
screen.

NOTE: Use the arrow keys to highlight selections.

3.

Select Network, DNS/DHCP, and press the Enter key. The Network Autoconfiguration
screen displays.

4.

Select DHCP Enable and press the space bar to turn off DHCP. Be sure that DHCP Enable is set
to off and press the F10 key to save the changes.

NOTE: It will take a few minutes for the board to save the network changes and to reset.
