Configuring iLO 33

Configuring a ProLiant BL p-Class Blade Enclosure

To configure a BL p-Class blade enclosure using static IP bay addressing:

1. Install a server blade in bay 1 of the BL p-Class enclosure. The server blade

does not need to be configured or have an operating system installed. The

server blade must be configured before installing any additional blades in the

enclosure.

2. Connect a client device to the front-panel iLO port of the blade using the

local I/O cable. The local I/O cable connects to the I/O port on the front of

the server blade. This connection enables the static IP 192.168.1.1 for the

iLO Web interface.

3. Configure the enclosure setting. Using the iLO Web interface, select the BL

p-Class tab to access the Enclosure Static IP Settings. The BL p-Class tab

provides a user interface for configuring the enclosure-level static IP

addresses.

4. Select a reasonable starting IP address, with the last digit(s) of the address

corresponding to the bay number of each blade (example: 192.168.100.1

through 192.168.100.16), to build an easy-to-remember numbering system.

5. Reset bay #1, if necessary. The blade in bay #1 must only be reset if you

intend the blade to use a Static IP bay Configuration address by marking the

feature enable mask for bay #1. Before resetting the blade, browse to the

Network Settings page, select Enable Static IP Settings and click Apply to

force the blade to reboot and use the newly assigned enclosure static IP.

If multiple enclosures are deployed at the same time, the process can be repeated

easily by moving a single blade to bay #1 of each enclosure to perform the

configuration.

Configuring Static IP Bay Settings

Static IP bay settings available on the BL p-Class tab, enable you to configure

and deploy the blade server.
