iLO

Resources

Using iLO

From scratch

  • enter iLO menu with F8 after POST
  • in the [file] option there is a reset to default settings
  • as long as the above points are handled then you can get a new Dhcp DORA process going so that you can use intelligent provisioning via F10 to boot from an .iso on the remote machine.
  • NOTE: to use the virtual media install you need an iLO license, a trial license should work just fine

Caveats and Gotchyas

  • Make sure the iLO port is connected to a port on the switch that is on the same VLAN as the remote device attempting to connect to it.
  • you can let Dhcp handle DORA and configuration and then boot from virtual media via iLO
  • Booting from virtual media is an option in the F9 menu that needs to be enabled before attempting iLO boot
