HP Blade ILO not responding in chassis ILO

Question

I have just started at a new company and I am inspecting their current server config. The HP 480c blades in a c7000 chassis aren’t responding to ILO, although the chassis ILO is working fine. I have a feeling the last sysadmin configured the blades ILO as static IPs and it is not responding correctly. The servers are sitting in a datacenter and I’m hoping to be able to fix this remotely.

Is there a way that I can change the ILO static IPs for the blades remotely? If not and I do have to go onsite, how do I change the IP addresses of the ILO for the blades? (Sorry I’m not very familiar with HP servers)

thanks for you help!

Answer

Yep. Console onto the server OS itself and use the hponcfg app to dump and edit the iLo configuration.

Best bet is to dump the current config to a file, edit, then re-up.
