Setting Blade Server ILO passwords in c7000 Enclosure
We know that if we use the HP Onboard Administrator GUI, we can access all of the Blade Server ILOs without a prompt for a password. We would also like the option to go directly to the ILO through our web browser without the Onboard Administrator GUI. When we do this, we are prompted for a password. We have been setting this password within the Onboard Administrator GUI, for each server.
My question is, with the large number of servers that we have, is there a way to set a group of ILO passwords at one time through the Onboard Administrator, or through any other method? Otherwise, I will work on setting this password individually.
Thanks in advance...John

HPONCFG ALL xxTP://location/configfile.XML
Better yet, rather than having to admin all those accounts/passwords in iLO, consider upgrading to LDAP authentication.

Re: Setting Blade Server ILO passwords in c7000 Enclosure
I changed the passwords on 3 enclosures in about 5 minutes.
***********************************************
To use:
Establish an SSH connection to an Onboard Administrator
Edit any of the below scripts to reflect the desired settings
i.e. Passwords, change the 'all' to specific bays separated by a comma (1,3,5,16A)
Cut and paste the script into the terminal emulator with the SSH connection to the Onboard Administrator
Observe the results for errors
************************************************
HPONCFG all << end_marker

Re: Setting Blade Server ILO passwords in c7000 Enclosure
I ran all of the commands that you displayed and so it doesn't give me any errors. Each blade that it goes through displays:
MESSAGE='No error'
Do you have to reset anything or do any additional saves before this takes effect? My password still hasn't changed. I also tried to add a different username and it doesn't seem to create the new user.
Thanks again, John

Re: Setting Blade Server ILO passwords in c7000 Enclosure
I used putty with SSH to access the OAs. And I just did a cut/paste of the whole script when I had logged in. (with a different user/password).
It ran what seemed to be a multi stage task. Where I got say 7 processess started and then some of those responded with the next stage at the same time as it started some more.
It did fail on 2 blades that I knew the ILO had problems communicating with the OA.

Re: Setting Blade Server ILO passwords in c7000 Enclosure
The information Adrian has provided will only change the password for an already-existing user. You need to provide other XML commands to add users and enable LDAP or directory groups. Consult this manual, beginning on page 69:
http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00294268/c00294268.pdf
This is quite easy to use, typically you can just copy an example from the document and modify it to meet your specific needs.
Good luck!

Re: Setting Blade Server ILO passwords in c7000 Enclosure
I actually do want to change the password of the built in user "Administrator". I have also tried to create a new user. Although neither method seems to produce an error, I am not getting the password update or the new user creation as expected.
I appreciate the link to the ILO command line guide. I will look through that to see if I can make sense of this.
Thanks, John
