iLO RBSU security
iLO RBSU enables you to view and modify the iLO configuration. You can configure iLO RBSU
access settings by using iLO RBSU, a web browser, RIBCL scripts, or the iLO Security Override
Switch.
•
For information about using a web browser to configure iLO RBSU access settings, see
“Configuring access options” (page 40) .
•
For information about using iLO RBSU to configure iLO RBSU access settings, see “Using the
iLO RBSU” (page 87) .
•
For information about using RIBCL scripts to configure iLO RBSU, see the HP iLO 3 Scripting
and Command Line Guide.
•
For information about using the iLO Security Override Switch to access iLO RBSU , see “iLO
Security Override Switch administration” (page 44) .
iLO RBSU has the following security levels:
•
Login Not Required (default)
Anyone who has access to the host during POST can enter iLO RBSU to view and modify
configuration settings. This is an acceptable setting if host access is controlled. If host access
is not controlled, any user can make changes by using the active configuration menus.
•
Login Required (more secure)
If iLO RBSU login is required, the active configuration menus are controlled by the authenticated
user access rights.
•
Disabled (most secure)
If iLO RBSU is disabled, user access is prohibited. This prevents modification by using the iLO
RBSU .
To change the login requirement:
•
Use the iLO web interface to edit the Require Login for iLO RBSU setting. For instructions, see
“Configuring access options” (page 40) .
•
Use the iLO RBSU to edit the Require iLO 3 RBSU Login setting. For instructions, see “Using
the iLO RBSU” (page 87) .
To enable or disable access to iLO RBSU:
•
Use the iLO web interface to edit the iLO ROM-Based Setup Utility setting. For instructions, see
“Configuring access options” (page 40) .
•
Use the iLO RBSU to edit the iLO 3 ROM-Based Setup Utility setting. For instructions, see “Using
the iLO RBSU” (page 87) .
iLO Security Override Switch administration
The iLO Security Override Switch grants the administrator full access to the iLO processor. This
access might be necessary for any of the following conditions:
•
iLO has been disabled and must be re-enabled.
•
All user accounts that have the Administer User Accounts privilege are locked out.
•
An invalid configuration prevents iLO from being displayed on the network, and iLO RBSU is
disabled.
•
The boot block must be flashed.
•
The iLO NIC is turned off, and running iLO RBSU to turn it back on is not possible or convenient.
•
Only one user name is configured, and the password is forgotten.
