How the iLO is changed as a result of HPE OneView management or monitoring

When server hardware is being managed or monitored by the appliance, the following configuration changes are made to the iLO on the server:

• An HPE OneView management account is created. Each iLO is assigned a unique password with the account.

  NOTE:

  The randomly generated password is created from alphanumeric and special characters, is 38 characters in length; the maximum value support by iLO.

• SNMP is enabled and the appliance is added as an SNMP trap destination. iLO allows for three possible trap destinations, and on HPE Synergy servers, the SNMP information is always written into the third entry for trap registration.

  WARNING:

  If you modify the information in the third entry location, the HPE Synergy appliance will overwrite the entry without warning.

• NTP is enabled and the appliance becomes the server hardware’s NTP time source.

• An appliance certificate is installed to enable single sign-on operations.

• If the iLO is running an outdated firmware version, and a Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) has been uploaded onto the appliance, the iLO firmware is automatically updated to the version in the SPP.

• The HPE Synergy management appliance is added as a destination for RESTful interface events.
