Configuring the HP p-Class enclosure

http://www.bladewatch.com/2008/06/10/reset-hp-ilo-password/

Log into first blade of the enclosure

• Click the BL p-Class tab
• Click Static IP Bay Configuration

We set an ip address for each enclosure bay, so when you plug the blade in, it reconfigures the blade to use that address for the rib card (ILO).

• Set the new ip address for the first blade:
• This will then calculate the correct addresses for the remaining blade enclosures.
• Scroll down and click the enable all button.
• Now click apply.

This should re-configure the blades ilo address to the blades in this enclosure.

If the blades ilo ip addresses do not update:

• Log on to the blade, bring up a command prompt
• cd\program files\hp\hponcfg
• use the config files -there are demo ones here
• hponcfg /f inputconfig_file – this will reset the blade loading this xml file which sets the blade ilo to use the enclosure configuration.  I’ve added one at the end:

Alternatively, do the following:

• Unplug the blade and disable the ILO security login using the switch on the system board
• Connect your blade connection cable.
• Log into the blade and select administration
• Select network settings
• Select the option “Enable Static IP Configuration” to yes
• Press Apply

If this does not work, check the rear of the enclosure – you may have a red fault light to signify a problem with the enclosure/back plane, try re-seating the blade, or removing the backplane management arm and re-connecting.
