Installation Manual
Action
Try the following:
• Verify that the user account exists and has the Login privilege.
• Ask a user with the Administer User Accounts privilege to change the account password. If
a login attempt fails after the password change, ask the user to delete and re-add the user
account.
• Try to log in by using the default account information, which is on the serial label pull tab.
• If there is only one administrator account, and the password was forgotten, do one of the
following:
◦ Use the iLO security setting on the system maintenance switch. Log in and establish a
new administrator user account.
◦ Use HPONCFG to establish an administrator account and password. For more
information, see the iLO scripting and command line guide.

iLO management port not accessible by name
Symptom
The iLO management port is not accessible by name.
Cause
The environment is not configured to support accessing the iLO management port by name.
Action
The iLO management port can register with a WINS server or DDNS server to provide the
name-to-IP-address resolution required to access the iLO management port by name.
Verify that your environment meets the following requirements:
• The WINS or DDNS server must be up and running before the iLO management port is
powered on.
• The iLO management port has a valid route to the WINS or DDNS server.
• The iLO management port is configured with the IP address of the WINS or DDNS server.
You can use DHCP to configure the required IP addresses.
• The clients used to access the iLO management port are configured to use the same DDNS
server where the IP address of the iLO management port is registered.
If you use a WINS server and a nondynamic DNS server, iLO management port access might
be faster if you configure the DNS server to use the WINS server for name resolution. For more
information, see the Microsoft documentation.
