Proceed to “Task 5: Set the Onboard Administrator Password.”
5.5 Task 5: Set the Onboard Administrator Password
You must define and set the user name and password for the Onboard Administrator on every
enclosure in the hardware configuration.
The Onboard Administrator user name and password must match the user name and password
you plan to use for the iLO2 console management devices. The default user name is
Administrator, and HP recommends that you delete the predefined Administrator user
for security purposes.
If you are using the default user name Administrator, set the password to be the same as the
iLO2. If you create a new user name and password for the iLO2 devices, you must make the
same settings on all Onboard Administrators.
Follow this procedure to configure a common password for each active Onboard Administrator:
1. Use a network cable to plug in your PC or laptop to the administration network ProCurve
switch.
2. Make sure the laptop or PC is set for a DHCP network.
3. Gather the following information:
a. Look at the Insight Display panel on each enclosure, and record the IP address of the
Onboard Administrator.
b. Look at the tag affixed to each enclosure, and record the default Onboard Administrator
password shown on the tag.
4. On your PC or laptop, use the information gathered in the previous step to browse to the
Onboard Administrator for every enclosure, and set a common user name and password
for each one. This password must match the administrator password you will later set on
the ProCurve switches. Do not use any special characters as part of the password.
Proceed to “Task 6: Discover Enclosures and Nodes.”
5.6 Task 6: Discover Enclosures and Nodes
Follow this procedure to discover all enclosures and nodes in the hardware configuration. This
discovery process assigns IP addresses to all hardware components:
