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.

  NOTE:

  Health monitoring is not enabled on HPE ProLiant G6 or HPE ProLiant G7 iLO 3 server hardware until the management agents are installed on the OS and the SNMP service is configured with the same SNMP read community string shown on the Settings screen.

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• If the iLO is running an outdated firmware version, and a Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) has been uploaded onto the appliance, the iLO firmware is automatically updated to the version in the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