This process removes the pre-assigned static IP address from the blade. This commonly happens when the blade is moved from another encloser. Very annoying.

If your chassis has EBIPA set, the blade will use that instead of DHCP upon this reset.

I don't easily have access to a monitor and keyboard where my server is located. Doing the jumper bit isn't too bad, though.

I'm trying to get the hponcfg utility to work from my Xenserver console in the meantime. I guess I could drag a monitor down there, but it's definitely my last resort.

I'm thinking that the ILO will default to DHCP and UN/PW listed under the cover. You could web page it and reconfigure.

The IPMI from SuperMicro has a web interface where you can do user maintenance for ipmi, remote control of hosts, record video(for recording other people's access to this system i guess), from there you can set Serial over Lan options. Here is the base screenshot

It does use java for some things still. There are also functions here i have no clue what they are. No idea what RAKP Protocol Setting is, but it is there.
Here is a nice feature, it shows how much power your host is using. It changes every few seconds.

@Breffni-Potter has been a pain with centos on dl160. It is now with dl380 and hyperv

Was doing some research on this recently and found the HP documentation on how to do this:

HP Proliant Servers - How to Reset the HP ILO Inband Root/Administrator Password in Linux

It is very useful (if you have Linux running on the box in some form, or vSphere which is similar enough.) However, it turns out that some ILO firmware editions don't work with this and cannot be reset without being patched first. Important to know.

Thanks for the heads up.
