need it to license virtual media, which is described in the next section.
6.2.3 Licensing virtual media on the management processor
Your iLO Advanced license key activates iLO Advanced features. For the latest instructions,
which may supersede those shown below, see the following website:
These instructions assume the network client has a network connection to the iLO-based
management processor.
To install the iLO Advanced license and enable the iLO Advanced functionality using a supported

6.3 Using the Define Networks tool
The Define Networks tool enables you to preset network configuration settings called a “network”;
the defined network corresponds to a subnet where servers will reside. You assign these network
settings to the servers in the Network Configuration Editor.
The advantages of the Define Network tool include the following:
•
You assign the parameters only once.
•
Network parameters can be assigned to multiple servers.
•
If you want, you can allow for automatic IP address assignment to servers.
•
Assigning a “network” to a server, instead of entering all the network configuration
parameters, saves time and effort.
•
If a network parameter changes, you only need to update the named network.
•
The parameters that you enter are validated for correctness.
The virtual media deployment functions enable the use of the information from the Define
Networks and Network Configuration Editor tools. Thus, the servers assigned with these tools
must be set for Virtual media.
