iLO Federation groups
iLO Federation group characteristics
iLO Federation groups allow iLO systems to encrypt and sign messages to other iLO systems
in the same group.
• All iLO systems are automatically added to the DEFAULT group, which is granted the Login
privilege for each group member. You can edit or delete the DEFAULT group membership.
• iLO Federation groups can overlap, span racks and data centers, and can be used to create
management domains.
• An iLO system can be a member of up to 10 iLO Federation groups.
• There is no limit on the number of iLO systems that can be in a group.
• You must have the Configure iLO Settings privilege to configure group memberships.
• You can use the iLO web interface to configure group memberships for a local iLO system
or a group of iLO systems.
• You can use RIBCL XML scripts to view and configure group memberships.
For more information, see the iLO Federation user guide.
• You can use the iLO RESTful API to configure group memberships.
For more information, see the iLO RESTful API documentation at the following website:
http://www.hpe.com/support/restfulinterface/docs.
• Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends installing the same version of the iLO firmware on
iLO systems that are in the same iLO Federation group.
iLO Federation group memberships for local iLO systems
When you configure group memberships for a local iLO system, you specify the privileges that
members of a group have for configuring the local managed server.
For example, if you add the local iLO system to group1 and assign the Virtual Power and Reset
privilege, the users of other iLO systems in group1 can change the power state of the managed
server.
If the local iLO system does not grant the Virtual Power and Reset privilege to group1, the users
of other iLO systems in group1 cannot use the group power control features to change the power
state of the managed server.
If the system maintenance switch is set to disable iLO security on the local iLO system, the users
of other iLO systems in group1 can change the state of the managed server, regardless of the
assigned group privileges.
Group memberships for the local iLO system are configured on the Administration→iLO
Federation page.
