Assigning static iLO-OOBM IP address to DL servers

The static iLO-OOBM IP addresses must be assigned to all servers only if user is not using NPS toolkit DHCP service to set iLO IPs for all the other servers except NPS toolkit controller by enabling DHCP on the switch.

  • Retrieve the credentials of the DL server Administrator user from the serial label pull tag of the DL1 server.

Procedure
  1. Connect the DL server to your computer using the HPE USB to Ethernet Adapter cable to access iLO through the iLO service port.

    For more information about connecting to iLO, see Connecting a client to iLO through the iLO Service Port in the HPE iLO 5 1.20 User Guide here;
