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

The administrator sets an independent range for device bays and interconnect module bays using the
Onboard Administrator EBIPA setup wizard. The first address in a range is assigned to the first bay and then
consecutive bays through the range.
For example, if you set the server bay EBIPA range starting from 16.100.226.21 to 16.100.226.36, then
the iLO in Server bay #1 is assigned 16.100.226.21 and the iLO in Server bay #12 is assigned
16.100.226.32, and the interconnect bay EBIPA range to 16.200.139.51 to 16.200.139.58. If you set the
interconnect module port, then the interconnect bay #1 is set to 16.200.139.51 and the interconnect module
management port in Interconnect bay #7 is set to 16.200.139.57.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the 169.254.x.x range when configuring EBIPA assigned addresses as
Onboard Administrator uses the same range for linked local addresses.
If you have double dense server blades, do not configure EBIPA for the base bays. You must configure EBIPA
on the Double Dense Side A and Side B tabs.
