ILO: Get the ILO IP from a Linux host server

By | December 4, 2016

In case your HP ILO is set to DHCP there is the need to find out what is the allocated IP in case you do not have access to the cosole.

The easiest way is to use ipmi tools.

STEP 1 : Install ipmi tools


# dnf install ipmitools

STEP 2: Load the ipmi kernel module


# modprobe ipmi_devintf

STEP 3: List LAN info from ipmi


# ipmitool lan print
