[Solved] HP Proliant Host Baseboard Management Controller status Warning.

Problem:

Warning Alarm:

Host Baseboard Management Controller status alarm on HP Proliant DL380 G7 Server.

Solution

1.  HP Proliant DL380 G7 was built with the HP ESXi build, and the management agents are complaining because the iLO cannot acess the network.

2. While trying to connect with the iLO socket to the network the alarm will change as shown below.

3. when you'll have disabled or connected to it you will be able to reset the alarm.

4. log in and configure the iLO. Access it through internet browser (it will get a DHCP address automatically, you can also set a static IP address if you want to , by entering the iLO setup at boot (have a look at disabling iLO section below)).

5. Username will be Administrator (with capital A) and the password will be either on a pull out tab on the front of the server, or a brown cardboard label tied to the front of the server , or on a brown sticker on top of the server chassis or under the server lid.

6. Now you can log in and configure.

Disabling the iLO

1. Restart the server, and  press F8 to enter the iLO setup when prompted.

3. Select Settings > Configure.

4. You can also use the cursor keys to select and the space bar to enable/disable the options.

5. Set all as disabled.

6. Have Fun.!
