376 User Guide Integrated Lights-Out
NOTE: If a network connection is established, you may have to wait up
to 90 seconds for the DHCP server request.
ProLiant BL p-Class servers have a diagnostic port available. Connecting a live
network cable to the diagnostic port will cause iLO to automatically switch from
the iLO port to the diagnostic port. When switching between the diagnostic and
back ports, you must allow one minute for the network switchover to be
complete before attempting connection through the Web browser.
Inability to Log into iLO after Installing the iLO Certificate
If the iLO self-signed certificate is installed permanently into some browsers, and
the iLO is reset, it may not be possible to log back into iLO because iLO
generates a new self-signed certificate every time it is reset. When a certificate is
installed into the browser, it is indexed by the name contained in the certificate.
This name is unique to each iLO. Every time iLO resets, it generates a new
certificate with the same name.
To avoid this problem, the iLO self-signed certificate should not be installed into
the browser certificate store. If you want to install the iLO certificate, a
permanent certificate should be requested from a CA and imported into the iLO.
This permanent certificate can then be installed into the browser certificate store.
In particular, Netscape 7.1 will not display the iLO login screen after iLO is
reset, if the self-signed certificate has been installed into the certificate store. In
order to log in, the previously stored certificate must first be deleted from the
browser certificate store. Netscape 7.1 stores the iLO self-signed certificate in the
authorities store, not the website store.
Netscape 7.02 does not allow previously stored certificates to be deleted.
Upgrade to Netscape 7.1 if the self-signed certificate is installed in the browser
certificate store.
Firewall Issues
iLO communicates through several configurable TCP/IP ports. If these ports are
blocked, the administrator must configure the firewall to allow for
communications on these ports. Refer to the Global Settings option in the
Administration tab to view or change port configurations.
