Enabling telnet on iLO Devices
The procedure described in this appendix applies only to XC systems with nodes that use
Integrated Lights Out (iLO) as the console management device.
New nodes that are managed with iLO console management connectio ns th at have never been
installed with XC software may have iLO i nterfaces that have not been configured properly for
XC operation. In order for the discover command to discover the console ports, the iLO
devices must have telnet enabled.
Follow this procedure to enable telnet on iLO devices:
1. After the discover command fails, view the /etc/dhcpd.conf file to determine the
console ports connected to the nodes. You can identify console ports by the characters
cp- in the host name. The switch and port number are sho wn in a comm ent at the end of
theentry.Makesureyouarelookingatthecorrect switch to identify the console port.
