Effects of managing an HPE BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure

When an enclosure is being managed by HPE OneView, the following iLO enclosure settings are in effect:

• A privileged, commonly named management account, (_HPOneViewAdmin) is created with a unique, randomly defined password for each iLO interface.

  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.

• NTP (Network Time Protocol) is enabled and the appliance becomes the NTP time source.

• The NTP default polling interval is set to 8 hours.

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

• Enclosure firmware management is disabled (except for monitored enclosures).

• When adding an enclosure with a Service Pack for ProLiant, the HPE BladeSystem Onboard Administrator and interconnect firmware updates to match the version in the Service Pack for ProLiant. The baseline is also set on each of the logical interconnects in the enclosure.
