4.7.8 Preparing HP ProLiant DL585 and DL585 G2 Nodes

On HP ProLiant DL585 and DL585 G2 servers, use the following tools to configure the appropriate settings for an HP XC system:

•Integrated Lights Out (iLO) Setup Utility

•ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU)

HP ProLiant DL585 and DL585 G2 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 4-20shows a rear view of the HP ProLiant DL585 server and the appropriate port assignments for an HP XC system.

The callouts in the figure enumerate the following:

1.The iLO Ethernet port is the connection to the Console Switch.

2.If a Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) interconnect is configured, this port is used for the interconnect connection. Otherwise, it is used for an external connection.

3.NIC1 is the connection to the Administration Switch (branch or root).
