Enabling the Shared Network Port feature through XML scripting

For information on how to use the SHARED_NETWORK_PORT command to enable the iLO 3 Shared

Network Port through XML scripting, see “RIBCL XML Scripting Language” (page 60).

The following sample script configures the iLO 3 to select the Shared Network Port. You can

customize this script to your needs. All non-blade platforms support some variation of this script.

<RIB_INFO MODE="WRITE">

<MOD_NETWORK_SETTINGS>

<SHARED_NETWORK_PORT VALUE="Y" />

</MOD_NETWORK_SETTINGS>

</RIB_INFO>

</LOGIN>

</RIBCL>

Re-enabling the dedicated NIC management port

You can re-enable the iLO-dedicated NIC management port using the User Interface, RBSU, CLP,

or XML scripting.

For information about how to use the SHARED_NETWORK_PORT command, see “RIBCL XML Scripting

Language” (page 60)

To re-enable the dedicated management port using RBSU:

1. Connect the dedicated NIC management port to a LAN from which the server is managed.

2. Reboot the server.

3. When prompted during POST, press the F8 key to enter iLO RBSU.

4. Select Network→NIC→TCP/IP, and press Enter.

5. In the Network Configuration menu, press the spacebar to change the Network Interface

Adapter Field to On.

6. Press the F10 key to save the configuration.

7. Select File→Exit, and press Enter.

After iLO resets, the dedicated NIC management port is active.

To re-enable the dedicated iLO port using XML, use the following sample RIBCL script. The sample

script configures iLO to select the iLO Network Port. You can modify the script for your specific

needs. Using this script on platforms that do not support the Shared Network Port causes an error.

For example:
