IMPORTANT: Failure to properly configure the console device can result in the inability of the operating system to interact with the server. This symptom can be misinterpreted as a system hang. iLO 3 MP LAN DHCP with DNS is the HP-recommended method to configure the LAN. DHCP with DNS comes preconfigured with default factory settings, including a default user account and password. By default, the iLO 3 MP LAN uses DHCP to retrieve a new LAN address for itself. When this occurs, the default DNS name is set to mp. The MAC address for the iLO 3 MP LAN is printed on a label on the server. If Dynamic DNS (DDNS) is enabled in the data center, the DNS server automatically registers the new name and enables you to access iLO 3 through the web browser by entering https://mp/. For information on iLO 3, see the HP Integrity Integrated Lights-Out 3 Operations Guide on the HP website at: http://www.hp.com. HP-UX The HP-UX operating system uses the console connection of the iLO 3 MP as the default console. However, if the iLO 3 MP console path is not selected in the UEFI Boot Manager Console Configuration menu, HP-UX messages may not be presented to the console device. Also, HP-UX systems should have only one console path selected in the UEFI Boot Manager Console Configuration menu. You can also use VGA to connect consoles that use HP-UX operating system. For information on changing the default console and using the UEFI Boot Manager Configuration Options, see Selecting Your HP-UX Console in the HP-UX Installation and Update Guide on the HP website at: http://www.hp.com/go/hpux.

iLO 3 MP LAN
DHCP with DNS is the HP-recommended method to configure the LAN. DHCP with DNS comes
preconfigured with default factory settings, including a default user account and password. By
default, the iLO 3 MP LAN uses DHCP to retrieve a new LAN address for itself. When this occurs,
the default DNS name is set to mp
<MACADDRESS>
.
The MAC address for the iLO 3 MP LAN is printed on a label on the server. If Dynamic DNS
(DDNS) is enabled in the data center, the DNS server automatically registers the new name and
enables you to access iLO 3 through the web browser by entering
https://mp<MACADDRESS>/
.
