addresses for other iLO 2s in the enclosure. After you click Next, you are prompted to verify
that you want to use DHCP for this iLO 2 IP address.
• Enable DHCP (No) and Enable Static IP Bay Configuration (Yes)
This configuration causes the iLO 2 being configured to set its IP address according to the
settings specified through the Static IP Bay Configuration. Clicking Next displays the Static IP
Bay Configuration page.
• Enable DHCP (No) and Enable Static IP Bay Configuration (No)
This configuration causes the iLO 2 being configured to set its IP address according to the
settings specified through the Network Settings page. Clicking Next displays the Network
Settings page.
To save any network changes, you must have the Configure iLO 2 privilege.
Click Next to save changes and continue.
Verify Server RAID Configuration screen
This step of the installation wizard enables you to verify and accept server RAID configuration
settings. Verify the detected RAID level for the hard drives on the blade server displayed on the
web page and do one of the following:
• Click Next to keep current RAID settings.
• Click Default Settings to automatically configure the RAID level based on the number of installed
drives. You are prompted to verify that you want to reset the RAID level because this could
result in loss of data. Resetting the RAID level requires a server power-on or reboot. iLO 2
displays a page indicating that this action is occurring. The page is refreshed automatically
every 10 seconds. After the server reboots, the next page in the installation wizard displays
again. If an error occurs during the RAID reset process, the RAID Configuration page will
redisplay with an indication of the error. An error is most likely to occur if the server is in
POST. If this is the case, exit any RBSU program you are running, allow POST to complete,
and try the operation again.
You can change the RAID level manually through RBSU. If the operating system is already installed,
changing the RAID level results in a loss of data.
Connect Virtual Media screen
This step of the installation wizard enables you to verify and accept the drive you will use during
the installation of the operating system. Under Settings, select the local drive and media type you
intend to use during operating system installation. Click Launch Virtual Media to launch the Virtual
Media applet.
• Ensure the operating system media is connected. In the Virtual Media applet, a green icon
appears next to the media currently selected.
• Verify that the operating system media is in the appropriate local drive.
• Accept security certificates as they appear.
After making your selection, click Next to save your settings and continue. The virtual media applet
appears. After the applet is available, you can change the selected drive, or select other options
not available on the installation wizard page.
