Installation Manual

Testing the ESKM configuration
After the key manager configuration is complete in iLO, you can use the Test ESKM Connections
feature to verify the configuration settings. The tests confirm that iLO and the ESKM servers are
set up to provide key management services for HPE Secure Encryption. During the test, iLO
attempts the following tasks:
• Connects to the primary ESKM server (and secondary ESKM server, if configured) by using
SSL.
• Tries to authenticate to the ESKM by using the configured credentials and account.
• Confirms that the version of the ESKM software is compatible with iLO.
To test the ESKM configuration:
1. Navigate to the Administration→Key Manager page.
2. Click Test ESKM Connections.
The test results are displayed in the Enterprise Secure Key Manager Events table.
Viewing ESKM events
1. Navigate to the Administration→Key Manager page.
2. Scroll to the Enterprise Secure Key Manager Events section.
Each event is listed with a time stamp and description.
Clearing the ESKM log
1. Navigate to the Administration→Key Manager page.
2. Click Clear ESKM Log.
3. When prompted to confirm the request, click OK.
iLO and remote management tools
iLO 4 1.30 and later allows remote management through supported tools such as HPE OneView.
The association between iLO and a remote management tool is configured by using the remote
management tool. For instructions, see your remote management tool documentation.
When iLO is under the control of a remote management tool, the iLO web interface includes the
following enhancements:
• A message similar to the following is displayed on the iLO login page:
This system is being managed by <remote management tool name>.
Changes made locally in iLO will be out of sync with the centralized
settings, and could affect the behavior of the remote management
system.
• A page called <Remote Management Tool Name> is added to the iLO navigation tree.
Starting a remote management tool from iLO
When iLO is under the control of a remote management tool, use the following procedure to start
the remote manager user interface from iLO.
1. Navigate to the <Remote Management Tool Name> page.
2. Click Launch.
The remote management tool starts in a separate browser window.
