Using the Active Onboard Administrator
OA is the enclosure management processor, subsystem, and firmware base that supports the
HPE BladeSystem and all managed devices in the enclosure.
The Active Onboard Administrator page allows you to view enclosure information, start the
OA web interface, and toggle the enclosure UID LED. This page is displayed only when an
enclosure is present.
Viewing OA information
Navigate to the BL c-Class→Active Onboard Administrator page.
This page provides general information about the primary OA in the enclosure in which the iLO
processor is located.

• MAC Address—The MAC address of the active OA.
• System Health—The health of the active OA, as reported by the OA.
A value of unknown means that the OA health has not been reported to iLO.
• Blade location—The location (enclosure bay) of the blade that is hosting the current iLO
session.
• Enclosure name—The enclosure that the active OA is managing. You can change this
value through the OA.
