NOTE:
The serial number/iLO information pull tab is double-sided. One side shows the server
serial number, and the other side shows the default iLO account information. The same information
is printed on a label attached to the chassis.
The default values follow:
•
User name—Administrator
•
Password—A random eight-character alphanumeric string
•
DNS name—ILOXXXXXXXXXXXX, where the Xs represent the serial number of the server
If you enter an incorrect user name and password, or a login attempt fails, iLO imposes a security
delay. For more information about login security, see
.
IMPORTANT:
HP recommends changing the default values after you log in to iLO for the first
time. For instructions, see
“Managing iLO users by using the iLO web interface” (page 32)
Activating iLO licensed features
To activate iLO licensed features, install an HP iLO license. iLO licenses activate functionality such
as graphical Remote Console with multi-user collaboration, video record/playback, and many
more advanced features. For licensing information and installation instructions, see
.
Installing the iLO drivers
iLO is an independent microprocessor running an embedded operating system. The architecture
ensures that the majority of iLO functionality is available, regardless of the host operating system.
The iLO drivers enable software such as HPONCFG and the HP Insight Management Agents to
communicate with iLO. Your OS and system configuration determine the driver requirements.
The iLO drivers are available from the HP Service Pack for ProLiant and the HP website.
