Proliant Bl460c Gen8 Drivers For Mac
I have an HP c7000 enclosure with a BL460c G7 blade. I need to install Windows server OS on it. I have a problem with iLO, so it will not mount the ISO in the remote console.
Tried using both Active-X and the Java console. In the Active-X console i get a timeout mounting the ISO and in Java i get 'network error (java.net.socketexception socket closed)'. Anyway the real question now, while waiting for the network guys: Is there any other way to install an OS on a BL460c G7 than mounting an ISO in iLO remote console? Can i connect a DVD ROM to a USB port or anything. Is there any way i can possibly get to read the install DVD so i can get the OS installed on the blade? There are certain ports needed in order to gain ILO and remote media access to an HP ProLiant system. The G7 systems use ILO3, so the general port cheat-sheet is: List Forwarded iLO Ports 22 Secure Shell (SSH) 23 Remote Console / telnet 80 Web Server Non-SSL (HTTP) 443 Web Server SSL (HTTPS) 3389 Terminal Services 17988 Virtual Media 9300 Shared Remote Console 17990 Console Replay 3002 Raw Serial Data In short, 23, 80, 443 and 17988 are the main ports you'll need access to in order to perform an installation through the GUI.
Are you being blocked by a firewall? Do you have any way to get directly onto the ILO's network (assuming it's on a different network segment). I often end up using a convoluted SSH forwarding string to accomplish this at distant sites. Ssh -L 22::22 -L 23::23 -L 80::80 -L 443::443 -L 3389::3389 -L 17988::17988 -L 9300::9300 -L 17990::17990 -L 3002::3002 user@gateway There are other options, though. You can SSH to the ILO and force it to mount a.ISO file residing at a URL. From the ILO ssh interface: vm cdrom insert followed by vm cdrom set bootonce will tell the ILO to source the.ISO from a specific location.

There's also a USB/KVM dongle that can be attached directly to the blade server. On is included with each enclosure. That would allow the use of a USB DVD drive, assuming someone has physical access to the server.
