Using the HP ILO Configuration Utility

I upgraded the Bladewatch DL360 G5 today with the new Proliant Support Pack 8.30 (I wanted to see what was different and play with the HP Lights Out Configuration Utility. This allows you to configure the ILO (their version of a lights out management interface) without rebooting the server or using their command configuration utilities such as HPoncfg which I’ve written about or the Command Line Interface option. Anyway, it’s cool, I like it and the screen shot is below, I like how it tells you the ILO firmware version so you know instantly if you need to upgrade it.

The options along the top allow for the configuration of the network settings, user configuration and settings.
