Linux – How to get ILO IP address without a monitor

hpiloiplinuxremote-access

I have a microserver gen8, that i just changed its location, now it's not connecting automatically to the internet.

And to debug it i want to connect to ILO which is link up now but i don't remember the IP address nor i have a monitor nearby to connect it directly to the server.

How can i get ILO address so i can connect to the server? if it's not possible then maybe reset the ip to a default one ?

PS: I have OSX system to as my PC to connect to the server.

Assuming your Linux system is functioning, you can install the iLO online configuration utility (hponcfg). You can use it to get the iLO's configuration or reconfigure it. The configuration is in XML format.

You didn't mention which flavor of Linux you're using, but HPE makes hponcfg packages available for numerous distributions in their Software Delivery Repository. Packages for RHEL and SLES are in their Service Pack for Proliant (SPP) repository, and packages for Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, and others are in the Management Component Pack (MCP) repo. They're set up as native repositories, so you can add them to your system and install or update them via yum, apt-get, etc.

Alternatively, you can browse the top-level repository directory and download packages manually if you want to.
