Management Processor (MP)

•IPMI over LAN

•Licensing

• iLO Advanced Pack features, such as SSH access, group actions capability, and LDAP

NOTE A complete description of the MP is provided in the HP Integrity and HP 9000 Integrated

Lights-Out Management Processor Operations Guide.

Configuring the MP LAN Port IP Address

By connecting the MP LAN port to an active network, you have two options for configuring an IP address. The

first option is to use a DHCP server, which automatically assigns an IP address, and the other is to use the

ping command from another host on the same subnet to set a static IP address for the MP. After the IP

address has been set, you can establish a telnet session to configure additional parameters.

If you are using a DHCP server, and it provides the Domain Name, and if the primary DNS server accepts

dynamic DNS (DDNS) updates or has been configured through the DHCP server, then you can use a default

host name to connect to the MP through telnet. The default host name is 14 characters long, consisting of the

letters “mp” followed by the 12 characters of the Media Access Protocol (MAC). See “Configure an IP Address”

on page 33 to determine the MAC address. If no DNS access is available, the telnet session can use the

assigned IP address.

If you are using DHCP, proceed to “Accessing the Management Processor” on page 33. For more information

on configuring DHCP, see “Configuring the Management Processor LAN Information” on page 35. For a

non-DHCP implementation, perform the following steps to configure a static IP address.

Configuring a Static IP Address (Non-DHCP)

To configure a static IP address for the MP LAN port, follow these steps:

1. Set up local terminal access.

2. Configure the IP address.

Set Up Local Terminal Access After powering on the terminal, ensure the communications settings are as

follows:

• 8/none (parity)

• 9600 baud

• None (receive)

•None (transmit)

If the terminal is a PC using Reflection 1, check or change these communications settings by performing the

following steps:

Step 1. From the Reflection 1 Main screen, pull down the Connection menu and choose Connection

Setup.

Step 2. Choose Serial Port.

Step 3. Choose Com1.

Step 4. Check the settings and change, if required.

Go to More Settings to set Xon/Xoff. Click OK to close the More Settings window.
