Best Answer
You can configure the ILO from the running operating system using the HP Online Configuration (hponcfg) utility.
Download the HP packages for your OS as detailed here. You may as well use this as an opportunity to install all of the agents for your server.
However, the main package you need is the
hponcfg
utility.Here's a description of the command usage.
Using this tool, you will be able to supply an XML file as input containing some basic parameters for the ILO, like username, password, IP configuration, etc.
What may be easier in this case would be obtaining the ILO's current config using
hponcfg -w ILO.xml
, modifying the file to contain the IP and configuration you wish, then reconfiguring the ILO with the altered file withhponcfg -f ILO.xml
.Of course, if you have remote hands or someone with physical access to the server, this manual process works as well.
