7.Use the IP address to connect to the iLO 2 MP LAN.

8.Use Web or telnet access to connect to the iLO 2 MP from a host on the local subnet and complete the rest of the LAN parameter (gateway, subnet).

Configuring the iLO 2 MP LAN Using the RS-232 Serial Port

To configure the iLO 2 MP LAN using the RS-232 serial port, follow these steps:

IMPORTANT: Do not configure duplicate IP addresses on different servers within the same network. The duplicate server IP addresses conflict and the servers cannot connect to the network.

The LC command enables you to configure an IP address, host name, subnet mask, and gateway address.

IMPORTANT: Ensure you have a console connection through the RS-232 serial port or a network connection through the LAN to access the iLO 2 MP and use the LC command.

To assign a static IP address using the LC command, follow these steps:

1.Ensure the emulation software device is properly configured. The terminal emulation device runs software that interfaces with the server. The software emulates console output as it would appear on an ASCII terminal screen and displays it on a console device screen. To ensure the emulation software is correctly configured, follow these steps:

a.Verify that the communication settings are configured as follows:

•8/none (parity)

•9600 baud

•None (receive)

•None (transmit)

b.Verify that the terminal type is configured appropriately. Supported terminal types are:

•hpterm

•vt100

•vt100+

•vt-utf8

IMPORTANT: Do not mix hpterm and vt100 terminal types at the same time.

There are many different emulation software applications. Consult the help section of the emulation software application for instructions on how to configure the software options.

2.Determine the required connection components, and the ports used to connect the server to the console device.

3.Connect the cables from the appropriate ports to the server.

4.Start the emulation software on the console device.

5.Log in to the iLO 2 MP. See “Logging In to the iLO 2 MP” (page 89).

6.At the MP Main Menu, enter CM and press Enter to select command mode.

7.At the command mode prompt, enter LS and press Enter. The screen displays the default LAN configuration values. Write down the default values, or log the information to a file. You may need the information for future troubleshooting.

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.
