HP ProLiant DL740 Server - Manual (Page 209)

Software Management
• Virtual Private Network (VPN) support—When used in conjunction with VPN
technology, iLO functionality is available around the world.
• Reset and failure sequence replay—Video text sequences stored on the iLO allow
an administrator to replay server startup and shutdown sequences. The last two
server resets and the last server failure may be viewed.
• User administration and security—The iLO supports 12 users with customizable
access rights, login names, client IP address restrictions, and advanced password
encryption. Secure password encryption, tracking of all login attempts, and
record maintenance of all login failures is provided.
• 128-bit encryption—Integrated Lights-Out provides strong security for remote
management in distributed IT environments. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
encryption (up to 128-bits) ensures that the HTTP information is secure as it
travels across the network.
• Auto configuration of IP address by means of DNS/DHCP—Integrated Lights-
Out provides automatic network configuration. The iLO comes with a default
name and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client that leases an IP
address from the DHCP server on the network. For systems that do not use
Domain Name Service (DNS)/DHCP, iLO allows static IP configuration.
The default user name, password, and DNS name are:
— User name: Administrator
— Password: A random, eight-character, alphanumeric string.
— DNS name: ILOXXXXXXXXXXXX where the 12 Xs are the serial number of
the server in which the iLO processor is located. The DNS name of the iLO
is configurable by the user.
IMPORTANT: User names and passwords are case sensitive.
• Integrated Management Log—The iLO manages the IML that can be accessed
using a standard browser, even when the server is not operational. This capability
can be helpful when troubleshooting remote host server problems.
• iLO ROM-Based Setup Utility (iLO RBSU)—The versatile, system-independent
RBSU enables fast and easy setup of iLO. This feature can be accessed during
