Associating the VMware host to iLO
In order for Insight Control for vCenter to display HP management information correctly, the VMware
host must be associated with its iLO. The method of iLO association varies, depending on the
version of Insight Control for vCenter and the VMware host configuration.
Automatic association
Automatic host-to-iLO association occurs when Insight Control for vCenter has HP Management
Agents for VMware ESX or the HP ESXi Offline Bundle for VMware ESXi installed on the host and
communication credentials are enabled via the Host Properties page or the Server Password
Management page.
Manual association
You can manually associate the host to iLO using either the vSphere Client VMware Power
Management settings or the Insight Control for vCenter Host Properties page. Manual association
is supported in all versions of Insight Control for vCenter.
Using the VMware Power Management settings
1. In the vSphere user interface, select the host to be associated, and then click the Configuration
tab.
2. In the Software section, click Power Management.
3. Click the Properties link.
