I have first generation HP BL 20p server blades running version 1.91 iLO firmware and the latest Java client. I want to rebuild the machines from scratch and since they don't have physical floppy/CD drives it is necessary to connect to a blade via an iLO web page and create virtual drives by mapping through to the physical drives of a host PC. This process worked fine when I set the machines up originally but now I get the following error message:
Network Error (java.net.ConnectException
: Connection timed out: connect)
iLO "sees" the drives I need to map and is even capable of creating a virtual image of the contents of the drives but refuses to map either the physical drive or the virtual image. I've searched for the error message in Google but can't find relevant content although I'm guessing it has something to do with the Java client or the configuration of Internet Explorer. I've tried various machines as the host PC (a XP SP2 machine, a Vista SP1 machine and even a thin clinet with embedded XP) with the same result.
