HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator User Guide - HP Business ...

IPv6 Settings tab
This screen displays the current enclosure TCP/IP settings (IPv6 settings) for the Active Onboard Administrator
and enables you to change the following settings:
• Enclosure IP Mode—The Enclosure IP Mode ensures all management applications point to the Active
Onboard Administrator of the enclosure, using a single static IP address. This mode is for enclosures
with an Active and Standby Onboard Administrator. When the Standby Onboard Administrator takes
over the role of the Active Onboard Administrator, that Onboard Administrator is assigned the IP
address of the previous Active Onboard Administrator. This ensures the Enclosure IP Mode IP address
is consistently pointing to the Active Onboard Administrator.
The transition times from Standby to Active and Active to Standby varies, depending on the
configuration, enclosure population, and various other factors. The transition of the Standby to the
Active is normally 30 seconds. The transition of the previous Active to Standby is normally 90 seconds.
Removing the previously Active Onboard Administrator early in the transition process forces the
transition time of the Standby to Active to increase to up to five minutes.
Replace the Standby Onboard Administrator only while the enclosure is powered on to ensure that the
Enclosure IP Mode settings are not changed.
NOTE: This feature is disabled while in the FIPS mode ON/DEBUG.
• Enable IPv6—Enables IPv6 protocol for all Onboard Administrator, interconnect, and server iLO
modules in the enclosure.
