Cannot login to iLO - DL380 G5

[outstream]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to setup iLO on a Proliant DL380 G5. I can access the iLO via ip address and can see the web console. However, it appears I cant log in. Whatever combination of username/password I try it just refuses to login.

I am pretty much sure its because I dont know default username/password for iLO. I`ve got HP iLO configuration guide for this server but that says to use Administrator as username and any alphanumeric 8 character password as password. That doesnt work

can someone help me log into iLO please

many thanks

There should be a sticker or tag on the unit that shows the iLO MAC address and default Administrator password

Thanks. probably a stupid question, but is it different for every server?

Unfortunately, server is on client side and i am remotely trying to setup iLO. Will have to go there to get the password then :smileymad:

thanks

yes, the default password is different for every iLO. If you can access the host OS, you can load the appropriate iLO channel driver and the HPONCFG program which will allow you to configure iLO

thanks

can you please tell if i can find any document detailing the steps

1. how to load appropriate iLO channel driver

2. after step 1 how to use HPONCFG to configure iLO

many thanks

what OS are you working with?

[outstream]

i can currently access iLO web based console using server 2008 r2.

this server is not the same server. its another server on local lan that i am using for management.

[Jimmy Vance]

to configure iLO using HPONCFG it has to be on the same system as the iLO

Okay great.

so the system inquestion, which has iLO port on it - has got server 2008 R2 OS aswell.

thanks
