Problem HP Proliant iLO and ISPConfig

I have a HP Proliant DL380 G6 Server. iLO 3 configured, access no problem via shared port. Installed debian bookworm, iLO access runs fine.
Install ISPConfig actuell version. iLO ist no more reachable, ping to the iLO IP address fails. https: access to iLO fails.

Need help

Regards Rainer

 

This may not be ISPConfig setup problem, but rather your server (hardware or software) setup problem.

In a server case like this, we normally run proxmox for the main server, then run ISPConfig in one of its vm, instead of running it in the main server itself.

 

I did run VMWare on that Server until I got a Ramsonware attack in February direkt on VMWare and all my VMs are encrypted. So I did a setup of Debian 11 on bare metal.

Did further research and found that iLO setting have bee completly reset, beetween basic netinstall of bookworm and the rest step following Till fine tutorial. Why, no idea. Reconfiguring iLO and access is possible again.

Fortunly the data center my server has place is nor far away some 20km only, so I can have phsical access and recheck everything.

Kind regards

You want Proxmox. It's better than VMware and free OpenSource product. Easy to install on Debian 11.

Code:

echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve bullseye pve-no-subscription" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-install-repo.list

Code:

wget https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/proxmox-release-bullseye.gpg -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-release-bullseye.gpg 

Code:

apt update && apt full-upgrade

Code:

apt install proxmox-ve postfix open-iscsi chrony

Then just browse https://server.ip:8006

 

That is one way of doing it but personally I would be very careful when building a proxmox server so I would choose to install from its iso instead from a debian install. Anyway, it is a matter of preference only but should normally work fine either way.

 

I cinda like the freedom to choose how big swap is and where to put it (or not put it.)

 

I mostly do that after a full installation. I know it can be done before install too, just a matter of preference.
