HP Integrity iLO 3 Operations Guide

Setting security access
Determine the security access required and what user accounts and privileges are needed. Integrity
iLO 3 provides options to control user access. To prevent unauthorized access to iLO 3, select one
of the following options:
• Create local accounts. You can store up to 19 user names and passwords to manage iLO 3
access. This is ideal for small environments such as labs and small-to-medium sized businesses.
• Use corporate directory services to manage iLO 3 user access. This is ideal for environments
with a large number of frequently changing users. If you plan to use directory services, HP
recommends leaving at least one local account enabled as an alternate method of access.
For more information on how to create local accounts and use directory services, see Chapter 8:
“Installing and configuring directory services ” (page 113).
Setting iLO MP LAN from UEFI
Integrity iLO 3 supports the UEFI utility to view the iLO LAN parameters.
To view the iLO LAN parameters from UEFI:
1. Boot to the UEFI Front Page. See “Accessing UEFI or the OS from iLO 3” (page 43).
NOTE: You will only be able to boot to UEFI if the operating system has not yet been booted.
2. To launch the iLO Setup Tool, press F8 or press I.
3. For a list of options, enter help. The screen displays the options.
4. Enter L. The current iLO LAN configuration appears.
Current iLO LAN configuration:
IP Address : 15.255.99.57
Gateway : 15.25.96.1
Subnet : 255.255.248.0
NOTE: You are viewing the iLO LAN parameters that have already been configured. To
modify the LAN parameters, connect to iLO or the OA for server blades.
5. To exit, enter Q.
If the iLO LAN configuration has not been initialized, this setup tool enables you to set a static IP
configuration.
IMPORTANT: For all Integrity BL8X0c versions, the recommendation is NOT to use this tool to
set the iLO IP addresses because it uses a static IP and will cause iLO to not respond to EBIPA,
which is the preferred method for setting iLO addresses in a blades environment. This tool is
primarily used for the Integrity rx2800 i2/i4 servers—which lack OA/EBIPA tools. Future updates
may not allow users to use the iLO Setup Tool to set the iLO LAN configuration on Integrity BL8X0c
versions.
