ILO 4

ILO Advanced License

60-day key: 34T6L-4C9PX-X8D9C-GYD26-8SQWM

Setup

Initial setup can be done in 3 ways:

  • Via ILO IP override from Onboard Administrator GUI, maybe
    • This will work if ILO is set to DHCP
    • This won't work if ILO is set to static IP
    • Does not allow for Login / Password change (DBL CHECK THIS)
  • Via "connect server X" command in OA CLI
  • Via KVM connection

Setup Via Local CLI

SSH into ILO 4, or connect via Onboard Administrator CLI with "connect server X"

  • Add user: "create /map1/accounts1 username=admin password=hpinvent group=admin,config,oemhp_vm,oemhp_rc,oemhp_power"
  • Change password: "set /map1/accounts1/admin password=hpinvent"
  • Disable DHCP (ILO will reset): "set map1/dhcpendpt1 EnabledState=no"
  • Set IP (ILO will reset): "set map1/enetport1/lanendpt1/ipendpt1 IPv4Address=192.168.1.213 SubnetMask=255.255.255.0"
  • Set System Name (ILO will reset): "set map1/enetport1 SystemName=merlin"

ILO Console

Finally, Working Console!

Can this be real? HTML5 Console in ILO 2.70! https://www.storagereview.com/news/hpe-releases-ilo-4-2-70-firmware-update

Integrated Remote Console

This requires IE / Edge. In security settings for each ILO IP, unblock popups and insecure content. When opening IRC, the app file will prompt for an app to run it. Select IE / Edge again. It works! For ILO 4.

Standalone Remote Console

This works for ILO 3, 4, and 5: https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=MTX_bc8e3ffa59904ec3b505d9964d
