Technical white paper | HP OneView Deployment and Management Guide Figure 5. HP Support Access Opt-In The HP Support Access Opt-In, as shown in Figure 5, is used for the HP GCC remote access when the appliance is in an unhealthy state, and core services cannot start. By opting out, this also disables the ability to reset the appliance Administrator account password if ever lost. Table 7. Default Credentials UserName Password Administrator admin Figure 6.
Technical white paper | HP OneView Deployment and Management Guide Figure 7. Change Administrator Password After providing the new Administrators password, you will be prompted for Appliance Networking configuration. You will need the following: • Appliance Hostname (e.g. hponeview.contoso.com) – If you specify an FQDN, verify valid A and PTR records exist. The appliance will perform an nslookup of the FQDN and IP address and report an appliance warning if neither are available.
Technical white paper | HP OneView Deployment and Management Guide Figure 8. Configure Appliance Networking After clicking OK, the appliance will go and configure those parameters. If you selected Static for the IP Address Assignment, you should be redirected to the new IP address. Please accept the certificate security warnings during the redirection, as a new SSL certificate is generated from the FQDN.
Technical white paper | HP OneView Deployment and Management Guide Section D2: Firmware Repository The HP OneView appliance ships with a default SPP that contains the necessary firmware to successfully import and manage an enclosure.
