For example, ilo instead ofilo.hp.com. This name can only be used, if DHCP and DNS are configured properly to connect to theiLO 2 subsystem name instead of the IP address.• Name service limitations—The subsystem name is used as part of the DNS name and WINS name.However DNS and WINS limitations differ:• DNS allows alphanumeric and hyphen. WINS allows alphanumeric, hyphen and underscore.• WINS subsystem names are truncated at 15 characters, DNS are not.If you require underscores, they can be entered in RBSU or using the iLO 2 scripting utility.NOTE: Name service limitations also apply to the domain name.To avoid name space issues:• Do not use the underscore character.• Limit subsystem names to 15 characters.• Verify you can PING iLO by IP address and by DNS/WINS name.Configuring iLO 2 52
