HP Integrity iLO 3 Operations Guide

3. The OA sends a command to create an OA user.
4. The OA launches an SSH or web GUI connection to iLO 3 and logs in with the created user’s
credentials.
Terminating an auto login session
When the auto login CLI or web GUI session is terminated, the temporary Auto Login iLO 3 account
is deleted.
User account cleanup during IPF blade initialization
The OA and iLO 3 perform the following during an IPF blade initialization:
• When a server blade is inserted, or iLO 3 or the OA is reboot or reset, both the OA and iLO
perform cleanup of the accounts that might have been created for auto login before the reset.
• When iLO 3 initializes, the OA marks all four user slots as unused.
• Integrity iLO 3 scans its local user accounts. If there are any OA-created user accounts, they
are deleted from the iLO 3 user database.
Auto login troubleshooting
There might be times when auto login fails. The following information provides possible reasons
for the failure:
User creation
When the OA sends a request to iLO 3 to create a new user, iLO 3 attempts to create a user in
the local iLO 3 user database. Creation of an OA user might fail for a number of reasons:
• The local user database is disabled in iLO 3 and LDAP authentication is being used.
• The iLO 3 user database has reached the maximum number of users (19 users).
User login
After an OA user has been created in the iLO 3 database, the OA user login can still fail for a
number of reasons:
• Maximum number of connections for the requested connection type (SSH, Telnet, web GUI)
to iLO 3 has been reached.
• Requested connection type (SSH, Telnet, or web) to iLO 3 is currently disabled.
User deletion
When the OA sends a request to iLO 3 to delete a user, iLO 3 attempts to delete that user from
the local iLO 3 user database.
Deletion of an OA user might fail when a user with the specified login does not exist (user might
have been deleted through other iLO 3 user interface).
Connecting to a server blade iLO 3 using the console serial port
When a physical connection directly to a server blade iLO 3 is necessary, you can connect through
the console serial port.
For a server blade, you can connect directly through the SUV cable to the serial console or you
can connect using the MP LAN internal connection in the blade enclosure. You do not cable up a
separate MP LAN cable to each server blade.
To log in to iLO 3, see Chapter 4 (page 32).
Connecting to iLO 3 using the Onboard Administrator
For instructions on physically connecting a server blade to iLO 3 through the OA, see the HP
