How to Configure iLO on your HP Proliant Server

Article by SiRu in the category: Server · 72 Comments

HP Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) is one of the bright feature available on all HP Proliant and Blade

Servers (hope you are not using Antique HP/Compaq Servers). iLO allow us to manage server

remotely and it works at the hardware level. So you will have access to the server even when the

Operating system is crashed/not installed/Server is in Powered Off state!

OK, now comes the configuration part of Integrated Lights-Out (iLO). iLO does not need any special

software to configure, but you just need to configure it for the first time. If you are new to HP

Servers, then configuring iLO will be one of the challenges you faced. In this article, we will discuss

more about iLO configuration on your Server. Once iLO is configured, you can access the server

remotely using an Internet browser and manage the server in an efficient manner!

As you know, earlier generations of HP Servers were shipped with Integrated Lights-Out version 1

(called as iLO only). If you have HP Proliant G2, G3 or G4 series servers, then you are using the first

version of iLO on your Server. If you look at the rear panel of your server, you will find a port named

as iLO, Management or Mgmt (have a look at above provided picture to see yourself).

In this article, I am trying to help you to configure iLO on your server. The steps remain same for iLO2

and iLO3 configuration.

Before you begin:

All HP Proliant servers are shipped with Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) enabled and all these servers will

have an attached iLO tag. Do not understand what I am talking about? have a look at the below

picture!. Depends on the HP Server model number or Generation number, this iLO tag will be tied to

either front/rear of your server. In some models of HP servers, I have seen that there is a label

pasted on your server (with iLO information) and no iLO tags!

Why the iLO tag is important? the iLO tag will have the User name and password of your iLO. When

you perform the initial configuration of iLO and if you are prompted to enter user name and

password, you may use the login information available on this iLO tag.

How to configure iLO (Integrated Lights-Out) of your Server.

Here comes the most important part, here we will learn how to configure iLO on HP Servers. Here,

we are going to disable DHCP and will assign a static IP for the iLO. Once we set a static IP, you

have to reboot the server for the changes to take effect.

Let’s Start!

1. Turn ON the Server, press F8 key at the Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) prompt.

2. If prompted to Enter user name and Password, use the information you found on iLO tag.

3. Once you login, you will be at below screen. This is the iLO RBSU screen.

4. From iLO RBSU, go to Network and select DNS/DHCP option from there.

5. Press Space bar and disable the DHCP as we are going to set a static IP for iLO.

6. Now under Network menu, select NIC and TCP/IP settings.

7. The Network Configuration window will open (as shown below)

Page 7: From Tricksguide.Com "How to Configure Ilo on Your Hp Proliant"

pdfcrowd.comopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API

8. Now enter an IP address and Subnet Mask for your iLO (Example: 16.180.237.8)

9. To Save the settings, please press F10 key.

10. Go to File menu and select Exit to close the iLO Configuration window.

Page 8: From Tricksguide.Com "How to Configure Ilo on Your Hp Proliant"

11. You will receive a window as shown below, Press Enter key to restart Server.

pdfcrowd.comopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API

12. Congratulation, you have successfully configured iLO of your Server.

What are the alternate ways to configure iLO:

Yes, we do have different methods to configure iLO on one server. If your Server supports

SmartStart CD, then you can boot the server to a SmartStart CD and use the HP Lights-Out

Configuration Utility to configure iLO for the first time. If you wish to learn how to do it, then you can

refer my article provided below:

Guide: Setup and Configure iLO using HP Lights-Out Configuration Utility

If the server is installed with Windows and if you wish to configure iLO using a Windows based tool,

then you can use HP Lights-Out Online Configuration utility in Windows. All the steps you need to

follow are available in the below said link:

Guide: Setup iLO using HP Lights-Out Online Configuration utility

I hope these two articles will help you

How to Launch iLO Web Interface?

Well, I have configured iLO, now how to do I access the iLO Graphical User Interface?

1. Connect a Network cable to the iLO port of your Server.

2. Connect the other end of network cable to your Laptop/Computer.

3. Open Internet Explorer and type the IP address of iLO you have set (Example: 16.180.237.8)

Page 10: From Tricksguide.Com "How to Configure Ilo on Your Hp Proliant"

pdfcrowd.comopen in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API

4. It should open the iLO Login page of your Server

Remember, you need to use the Login name and Password information which is available on your iLO

tag to login. Once you login to iLO, go to the Administration tab and create a new user account. Next

time onwards, you can use the newly created user account to login to iLO.

Though this article only speaks about configuring iLO 1, the steps are almost identical for

iLO2 and iLO3. If you are able to understand what I wrote in this article, you are good to

go. Leave your comments and feedback about your iLO configuration experience in the

comments section

You will need to get a public IP for that, I do not that anyone does that.

To install:in ILO3 GUI, Click Administration>Licensing, then you will get an option to add licenseThere are different types of license, I am not sure whether we can find whether thelicense is for single server or multiple server. Basically, when you purchase license, youneed to specify thatHope it helpsRegardsSiRu

Thanks SiRu… Does installing license give you anything special?

SiRu

Yes, You will get Remote console in ILO, Virtual Media, Active directory integration,Advanced Power management features etc some of the features you get. If you have aHP Blade servers, it will have Remote console and Virtual Media enabled by default.If you are using HP Proliant ML DL servers, then you need to buy HP iLO AdvancedLicense.

Phani

Thanks for the artical which was very helpful to understand.It seems some one has already configured the ilo – 2 for a our servers and we dont have logindetails for that.( As you told should be getting from a tag)Is there any way to create a user account from the operating system for the ilo with requiredprivileges as we do in solaris ?Since it is a production server i dont want to reboot and go into F8 or the guys at the DC doesnthave a clue about ilo tag or details to find.Any suggestion will be greatThanks

If the server is running Windows on your server, then you can download and install HPLightsout online configuration utility. This utility will not ask user name and passwordwhen you launch it. You can also create a new user account using HP Lightsout onlineconfiguration utility.I have written articles regarding HP Lightsout online configuration utility, please check

my blog. You can find it.

I am completely new to HP but I need to configure a new HP DL360c from scratch. Do I justconnect a normal LAN cable from the ILO port at the back of HP server to the serial port of mylaptop, and I would be able to see the screen during bootup where I can press F8? Thank you.

SiRu

Please follow what is explained in the article. It clearly says that connect a LAN cable toiLO port and other end to the LAN cable of your Laptop. NO serial port.

Hi, thanks for the enlightenment. However, I have configured my iLO interface just as you havedescribed,but I still can’t connect via web. Do I need to ping it across the internet? Do I need touse a router to configure the IP? Thanking You in Advance.

SiRu

Hi, the ILO configuration what we discussed here will work only if you are available onthe same network.This is not for accessing iLO through Internet. If you want to do that, you need to haveto VPN to the network and then access iLO..Note: Do not configure iLO IP as a public IP, its risky.

Samrach

Dear SiRu,This is very helpful. I have been asked to configured iLO on my ProLiant DL380G3 Server, and your article is clear enough to proceed. Just one more questionon the DNS field. Is this neccessary to be completed or not?Regards,Samrach

DNS is not really needed… Set a Static IP address for iLO and you aredone. Cheers

SiRu

I am not an expert regarding scripts but I have seen some post regarding this inInternet. Sorry.

new-commer

Please take the remote console of the iLO and see yourself whether the server boots tothe OS or not.

Maya

i have task of configuring DL120 G7server. this server has an option to use NIC 2 connector asa shared iLO3 or we have a dedicated management port.however the the ILO port delivery takes about 9 Weeks, hence i want a clarification, if we canuse the shared ILO port(with ILO Advanced license) and configure the server, once mydedicated port has been configured (after the part delivery) can i reconfigure the dedicated portwith the same advanced license.

SiRu

Yes, you can change the port in iLO3 settings. It is not related to the iLO License.

iLO is at hardware level. YEs, you can use iLO to access your server remotely but toreset the password, you should use the reset disk

Bennie

Hello, And thanks for sharing your insights and knowledge.I am adding 2 new HP DL120 G7s to our system. I assume it is possible to give the iLO 3 a validstatic IP address for the network and then connect it to a switch and access the DL120′s iLO 3from the network, rather than connecting a laptop directly to the iLo 3 port.Is that right? Is that a bad idea?Thanks…

SiRu

What you said is the best idea.. This is what we do in any network.My article is about confiuring iLO, when you configure, you can connect directly and do it.Once you configured iLO, then iLO accessed from Network only. We do not use directcable from laptop.ThanksRegards

Hi Siru,I configured the ILO for one of our server HP Proliant ML 310 G5. But iam not able to access theilo thru its ip. I can the server thru the network. I have configured many servers & their ILO.This is the first time iam getting this kind of issue. I replaced the server as well. But still samething happends.. Any other special config needed for ILO ??

SiRu

Hi, I was on vacation for three weeks, sorry for the delay.What if you connect a cable directly to the server iLO port and connect other end to yourlaptop, and open a browser window. See whether you can access iLO page? If thisworks, then iLO is fine.Note: You should change your laptop IP so that both iLO and laptop IP are in the samenetwork range.RegardsSiRu

pares

ciao SiRu,is it possible to know the ip for iLO when the server is down?

SiRu

Please define what you mean by “Server is down”? If the server can Power ON, thenyou can enter iLO RBSU and look for iLO IP address..

SiRu,they need to install the OS on that server, so because of these they need the ip for iLO;

I guess it s power on, otherwise they could not install it

SiRu

Please ask them whether they can press F8 key at server POST and get in to iLO RBSU,this would be the easiest way to find the iLO IP.

pares

ok, they set the ip for iLO via RBSU, but the partition was corrupted so, they will change thatserver with a VM( because they wanted to reinstall win2000, as it was installed before ,

remotely ) ..well at least they set the IP for iLO

SiRu

That is great..

Hi Siru,I am trying to setup iLo-4 on HP Proliant DL380p Gen8 Server. The aim is to monitor the ServerHardware and generate SNMP traps in case of failures and forward them to some Third PartyManager.I have few doubts:1. Can I give the same IP Address to iLo-4 which my DL380p Gen8 Server already have?2. Is there anything else which we need to do to Setup iLo-4? How do we access the same?3. How do I replicate Hardware Failure Scenarios?4. Do Hp provides some MIBs for the same?Thanks,Sanjay

Please use different ip address for ilo4.There is an option in ilo4 where you need to add management server ip, communitystring etc, please google “ilo4 user guide” for more information.Replication will be hard, but you can take out one power supply and see whether ilo4sends any traps to management server.mibs may be available, to be frank, i am not sure about it. you may use hp systeminsight manager for the same purpose..regardssiru

I followed your step. Awesome, I can set up HP iLO and connect to it remotely. However, I amhaving a problem. The iLO gets disconnected. Then again, when I power off the machine, andpower on it back, it works for a while then again it gets disconnected. My server is HP ProliantDL 385 G1. Please suggest. Everything is fine. The connections are OK. Ethernet ports are fineand the cable are connected properly.

SiRu

Please provide me the following information.1. What is the firmware of the iLO you are using? 2. Have you tried to reset iLO onceand checked whether the same issue happens?3. Will the same issue happens if you connect the ILO directly to your laptop?RegardsSiRu

parsegh

SiRu, thank you for your posts. Is it possible to get into the iLO after Windows loads? I may bewrong, but I believe I once saw a way to access the iLO via control panel or some other HPprogram. Thank you.

SiRu

iLO is independent of OS installed, you can access it through a web browser. Not

Here is my problem. During POST the iLO F8 option no longer displays. How do Iget the option back? Thank you.

SiRu

You have an option in ILO web window to enable it back. Enable Ilo rbsuat post. This option is under Administration tab.

SiRu

Can you connect a network cable direct to the Ilo port of server and other end to yourlaptop? Then check whether you can ssh or telnet ilo? Let me know results.Also what is the ilo2 firmware are you using. Have you reset ilo once and checked?Steps are available in my blog.Ilo password setting are not related to your ssh and telnet issue.

Hello Vanraj,When you purchase a HP Proliant Rack or Tower Server you get demo license for ILO , inyour case ML350e gen8 which is a tower server with ILO4 comes with a demo license for60days and you will have to buy a full version post 60days. For blade servers full versionof ILO4 is provided by default.

Hi Vanraj,RIB – Remote insight board and ILO provide the same functionality, RIB was the veryfirst remote functionality feature on Compaq servers which was replaced with RILOE /RILOE2 LO100 and ILO2/ILO3 and ILO4, RIB was something that that comes as a PCIcard ILO is integrated on the system board.
