iLO hostname and domain name limitations
When you configure the iLO Hostname Settings, note the following:
• Name service limitations—The subsystem name is used as part of the DNS name.
◦ DNS allows alphanumeric characters and hyphens.
◦ Name service limitations also apply to the Domain Name.
• Namespace issues—To avoid these issues:
◦ Do not use the underscore character.
◦ Limit subsystem names to 15 characters.
◦ Verify that you can ping the iLO processor by IP address and by DNS/WINS name.
◦ Verify that NSLOOKUP resolves the iLO network address correctly and that no
namespace conflicts exist.
◦ If you are using both DNS and WINS, verify that they resolve the iLO network address
correctly.
◦ Flush the DNS name if you make any namespace changes.
