HP Insight Control for Linux 6.0 Installation Guide

Table 5-1 Insight Control for Linux installation questions (continued)
Description and user actionQuestion
Supply the user name and password that Insight Control for Linux will use to access
and manage the MP on the servers that it will manage.
The default setting on an iLO management processor accepts passwords equal to or
greater than eight characters in length. If you want to use a password that contains
less than eight characters, you must first change the password length setting on the
iLO. In addition, there are restrictions on LO100 passwords: any characters over 16
characters are ignored.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the following characters in the management processor
password:
(double quote)"
(dollar sign)$
(percent sign)%
(at sign)
@
(back quote)
`
The user name you enter here is added to any management processor that is
discovered through the bare metal discovery process.
If the servers are already being managed by Systems Insight Manager, consider
entering the same credentials here.
If the user name already exists, the existing password is overwritten by the password
specified here.
After Insight Control for Linux is installed and configured, you can change this
default user name and password on all or individual managed systems from the
Configure→Management Processor→Credentials... menu item.

Supply an Insight Control for Linux collection name. The default collection name is
icelx.
The Insight Control for Linux collection name is used as the prefix to create an
Systems Insight Manager collection and to create subcollections of other objects that
are managed and monitored by Insight Control for Linux tools. If you accept the
default collection name, the subcollections of managed objects are called:
icelx_Servers, icelx_Console_Ports, icelx_Enclosures, icelx_Hubs,
and icelx_Switches.
The collection name is also used as a prefix to create internal names for all Insight
Control for Linux managed systems. These internal names facilitate easier referencing
of multiple managed systems when you are using Insight Control for Linux tools
from the command line. If you accept the default collection name, the managed
systems are named and numbered as follows: icelx1, icelx2, icelx3 and so on.
NOTE: Insight Control for Linux internal names are not exported in the /etc/
hosts file or DNS; they are only used by the Insight Control for Linux tools.
If you want to override the default collection name, choose a name that adheres to
the following guidelines:
• Alphanumeric characters consisting of the following:
— Upper- and lowercase letters A through Z and a through z
— Numbers 0 (zero) through 9
NOTE: HP recommends a maximum of 12 characters in the collection name,
but nothing prevents you from using more characters.
• Alphabetic first and last characters (the collection name cannot begin or end with
a number)
• No hyphens (-), periods (.), spaces, or other special characters
