4.5.2 Preparing HP ProLiant DL360 G4 and G5 Nodes

Use the following tools to configure the appropriate settings for HP ProLiant DL360 G4 and G5

servers:

• Integrated Lights Out (iLO) Setup Utility

• ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU)

HP ProLiant DL360 G4 and G5 servers use the iLO utility; thus, they need certain settings that

you cannot make until the iLO has an IP address. The HP XC System Software Installation Guide

provides instructions for using a browser to connect to the iLO to enable telnet access.

Figure 4-2 shows a rear view of the HP ProLiant DL360 G4 server and the appropriate port

assignments for an HP XC system.
