as well as launch a browser (which launches the HP Onboard Administrator Rack View screen) or
turn the UID Light on or off.
Enclosure bay IP addressing
During completion of the First Time Setup Wizard, you are asked to set up your enclosure bay IP
addressing. For more information about the complete wizard setup process, see the HP BladeSystem
Onboard Administrator User Guide.
The server blade iLO 2 ports and interconnect module management ports can obtain IP addresses
on the management network in three ways: DHCP address, static IP address or EBIPA. If your
network has an external DHCP service or if you want to manually assign static IP addresses one
by one to the server blades and interconnect modules, click Skip to bypass this step.
• DHCP addresses – The server blade iLO 2 defaults to DHCP addressing, obtained through
the network connector of the active Onboard Administrator. Interconnect modules that have
an internal management network connection to the Onboard Administrator might also default
to DHCP address.
The Onboard Administrator GUI lists the IP address for the server blade iLO 2 port and
interconnect module management port
• Static IP
Manual – If your facility prefers static IP address assignment, you can individually change
each of the server blade iLO 2 ports and interconnect module management ports to unique
—
static addresses or use EBIPA to assign a range of static IP addresses to individual server
blade and interconnect module bays.
— EBIPA – When a server blade or interconnect module is inserted into a bay that has EBIPA
enabled, that management port will get the specific static IP address from the Onboard
Administrator if that device is configured for DHCP.
The administrator sets an independent range for server blade bays and interconnects module bays
using the Onboard Administrator EBIPA setup wizard. The first address in a range is assigned to
the first bay and then consecutive bays through the range.
For example, if you set the server bay EBIPA range to 16.100.226.21 to 16.100.226.36, the
iLO 2 in device bay #1 is assigned 16.100.226.21 and the iLO 2 in device bay #12 is assigned
