4.5.3Preparing HP ProLiant DL360 G4 Nodes

Use the following tools to configure the appropriate settings for HP ProLiant DL360 G4 (including DL360 G4p) servers:

•Integrated Lights Out (iLO) Setup Utility

•ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU)

HP ProLiant DL360 G4 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 4-3shows a rear view of the HP ProLiant DL360 G4 server and the appropriate port assignments for an HP XC system.
