Troubleshooting ILO DNS Name

But for some reasons if you haven t configured ILO dns correctly, then you may not
be able to access the ILO web interface. In this case to debug the configuratio
n, you need to connect that machine physically.
Following are steps:
Connect Monitor to this machine (connect to front port, it s easy!) and have keybo
ard connection at the back.
Power on the machine. Once system start booting You will see white screen display
HP Proliant Servers . After this keep on pressing F8 key to get you into ILO confi
guration Screen.
Now go to Network -> DHCP menu
* Make sure DHCP is set to OFF (use spacebar to change the settings)
* Verify ILO name has correct value.
Now go to Menu Network -> TCP/IP Go to IP Address selection You can t change these
settings if DHCP is ON Update IP Address to new ILP DNS entry. Also Enter corre
ct values for subnet and default getway.
Save the settings (F10) and exit.
Now you should be able to login to ILO interface using new dns name like http:/
/newdnsname
Note NIC Mac address:

AC address, we will need this value to do the Linux installation using the PXE b
oot
