Determining the iLO 2 MP LAN Configuration Method

To access the iLO 2 MP through the iLO 2 MP LAN, the iLO 2 MP must acquire an IP address. The way the iLO 2 MP acquires an IP address is dependent upon whether DHCP is enabled or disabled on the server, and if DHCP and DNS services are available to the server. (See Table 3-12for possible scenarios.)

Once you have determined the iLO 2 MP access, you must determine how you will configure the iLO 2 MP LAN in order to acquire an IP address. There are three methods available.

•DHCP/DNS

•ARP Ping

•RS-232 serial port

Table 3-12provides all the possible scenarios to consider. Use this table to help you select the appropriate LAN configuration method to obtain an IP address.

Table 3-12 LAN Configuration Methods

DHCP	DNS	RS-232 Serial Port (MP	LAN Configuration Method
		LC command)
Yes	Yes	No	DHCP
Yes	Yes	Yes	DHCP or RS-232 serial port
No	No	No	ARP Ping
No	Yes	No	ARP Ping
No	Yes	Yes	ARP Ping or RS-232
Yes	No	Yes	RS-232 serial port
No	No	Yes	RS-232 serial port or ARP Ping
Yes	No	No	Cannot set up the LAN. Reconsider your criteria.

Once you have determined how you will configure the iLO 2 MP LAN in order to acquire an IP address, you must configure the iLO 2 MP LAN using the selected method.

Configuring the iLO 2 MP LAN Using DHCP and DNS

DHCP automatically configures all DHCP-enabled servers with IP addresses, subnet masks, and gateway addresses. All HP Integrity entry class servers with the iLO 2 MP are shipped from the factory with DHCP enabled.

HP recommends using the DHCP and DNS method to simplify access to the iLO 2 MP.

NOTE: You can use ARP Ping regardless of the status of DHCP unless an IP address has ever been acquired using DHCP. Once an IP address is assigned using DHCP, ARP Ping is permanently disabled.

When you use DHCP and DNS, you can connect to the iLO 2 MP by typing the default host name in your browser rather than an IP address only if the following applies:

INTEGRITY RX3600 specifications

The HP Integrity RX3600 is a high-performance server designed to address the demanding needs of enterprises that require robust computing capabilities, reliability, and scalability. Part of the HP Integrity server family, the RX3600 is built on the Itanium architecture, which is known for its exceptional processing power and advanced features that support mission-critical applications.

One of the main features of the RX3600 is its capability to handle multiple workloads with ease. The server supports up to 64 GB of RAM, allowing for efficient multitasking and enhanced performance in data-intensive environments. Its modular design also enables organizations to scale up their systems by adding additional memory or processors as needed, making it a flexible choice for growing businesses.

The RX3600 is equipped with HP's Integrity Virtual Machines (VMs), which provide virtualization capabilities that allow businesses to run multiple operating systems and applications on a single physical server. This not only maximizes resource utilization but also simplifies management by reducing the number of physical servers required in the data center.

Another significant characteristic of the RX3600 is its advanced reliability features. The server is designed with fault-tolerant components, including redundant power supplies and cooling systems. This ensures that the server remains operational even in the event of hardware failures. Additionally, HP's Error Correction Code (ECC) memory helps detect and correct data corruption, further enhancing the system's reliability.

For security, the HP Integrity RX3600 includes built-in features such as Secure Boot, which ensures that the server boots using only trusted firmware and software. This protects against unauthorized changes and vulnerabilities that could compromise data integrity.

In terms of connectivity, the RX3600 offers multiple I/O options, including advanced networking capabilities that support high-speed data transfer and improved bandwidth. This is critical for organizations that rely on data-intensive applications and need to maintain seamless connectivity.

Furthermore, the server supports a range of operating systems, including HP-UX and Linux, making it adaptable to various enterprise environments. Its robust performance, reliability, and scalability make the HP Integrity RX3600 an ideal choice for businesses looking to optimize their IT infrastructure and support their critical workloads with confidence.
