Messed up - how to change IP from HPE iLO console

Evening much wiser admins than I.

Absolutely my bad. I was all enthusiastic earlier about throwing an Ubuntu VM onto my TrueNAS box to run PiHole after my rPI blew a gasket. Rather than really paying attention I only went and set the static IP of the VM to the same as the TrueNAS IP, and then clicked "run VM on boot"

Now the box comes up for a few seconds, then the VM loads and all bets are off for connecting to the box as the battle of the single IP address fight it out.

I think the sensible solution is either, from the HPE iLO console:

1) change the base IP of the TrueNAS box to something else temporarily so I can get in and switch the VM to something sensible (lesson learnt), or
2) stop the VM from running on boot.

BUT

I cannot for the life of me find how to do either of these. The boot screen (attached) has a few options but as yet Opt 1 just boots as normal, Opt 2 seems to stall, Opt 3 (loader) works but I can't figure out the commands..

Can anyone give me any clues or better still a solution?

Thanks muchly

Found the Boot Options had a safe mode which seems to disable the VM. Able to get in, set a new system IP using netcli and... breath. Server back to pre-VM days.

Tomorrow when I am more with it, I'll set that up properly with a more appropriate IP address
