4.7.10 Preparing HP ProLiant DL785 G5 Nodes

On HP ProLiant DL785 G5 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 DL785 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 4-23shows a rear view of the HP ProLiant DL785 G5 server and the appropriate port assignments for an HP XC system.

The callouts in the figure enumerate the following:

1.The iLO2 Ethernet port is the connection to the Console Switch.

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

3.If a Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) interconnect is configured, this port (labeled NIC2) is used for the interconnect connection. Otherwise, it is used for an external connection.

Setup Procedure

Perform the following procedure from the iLO Setup Utility for each HP ProLiant DL785 G5 node in the hardware configuration:

1.Use the instructions in the accompanying HP ProLiant hardware documentation to connect a monitor, mouse, and keyboard to the node.

2.Turn on power to the node. Watch the screen carefully during the power-on self-test, and press the F8 key when prompted to access the Integrated Lights Out Setup Utility.

3.Make the following iLO settings for each DL785 G5 node, as shown in Table 4-40:
