Hp ilo 4 password2/12/2022 To find out about other settings that can be set using the hponcfg utility, I suggest exporting all settings using the following command as well as checking the Scripting Toolkit for Linux – Using HPONCFG, which contains some examples but sadly not much explanation. Username that has access to the iLO device Password for the user identified Armed with this information we can begin by creating a session to the iLO RESTful API: ip '172.16.96. Version 4.6.0 Date (c) Hewlett-Packard Company, 2015įirmware Revision = 2.54 Device type = iLO 4 Driver name = hpiloĪfter the command has been executed successfully, the Administrator’s password is set to the new value. HP Lights-Out Online Configuration utility The “-f” option instructs hponcfg to set Management Processor (iLO) configuration from “filename”. ![]() The iLO password is on a label on the bottom of the server on these Gen10 Microservers. Resetting HP iLO IP address and password Some interesting ideas. Gen 10 plus micro server doesnt have a pull tab that Ive found. By default iLO is configured to use Date and Time information as set in the BIOS but that is not very reliable. Google it, its 2 commands to do everything. To load the xml file into the iLO, the hponcfg command with the “-f filename” option is used. To set the password to something known ipmitool is the easiest thing to use. Saved to a file, this xml can be loaded into the iLO. The PASSWORD element inside the MOD_USER defines the new password (in clear text) to be set for the Administrator user. In the below example, it contains the MOD_USER element together with its USER_LOGIN property to modify the “Administrator” user. The element after LOGIN contains the setting to be set in the iLO. To illustrate this, the following example xml shows an “x” as USER_LOGIN and PASSWORD. In fact, they can be anything but an empty string. ![]() It’s interesting to notice at this point is that the “LOGIN” element must be present in the xml document but neither the username nor the password needs to be valid login credentials to the iLO. The XML starts with the “RIBCL” element followed by the “LOGIN” element which contains the a username and password property. To set any setting on the iLO, an xml file (called iLO4_set_password.xml in this example) needs to be prepared. In the following, the “Administrator” password is set. It can be used to retrieve and change the iLO configuration of the local server from the linux command line. The hponcfg utility is an online configuration tool used to set up and reconfigure the local iLO without requiring a reboot of the server operating system. The repository offers a number of packages with hponcfg being the one necesarry to set the password for the iLO. Curl | apt-key add -Īfter setting up the repository, the hponcfg utility can be installed. At the time of writing, in 2018, importing the old keys seems not to really be necessary to setup the repository on Debian. It is suggested to install all the keys to be able to verify packages that have been signed before 2015. To verify the signature, the corresponding keys need to be installed too. The steps below show the installation for Debian.Īdding the repository on Debian: echo "# HPE Management Component Pack" >/etc/apt//hp-nonfree.listĮcho "deb jessie/current non-free" >/etc/apt//hp-nonfree.list ![]() Installing the Management Component Packįollow the instructions from this page about the Management Component Pack (mcp) to install the mcp repository (the page also lists which distributions and versions are supported). As such, an additional repository needs to be added. The hp utilities are not part of the standard distributions’ repositories. To reset / set the password of the iLO from within the linux operating system on an HP server, the hponcfg utility needs to be installed. Open a new file /root/passwordreset.xml for editing, and then copy and paste the text below into the file. I ran into NTVDM errors trying to run the file so I just used WinRAR to extract the contents into C:hpilo. I then downloaded HP Lights-Out Online Configuration Utility. I dowloaded and installed the HP Insight Management Agents. Last, make sure the user is enabled with ipmitool user enable ID. I installed SNMP because it was a preprequesite for HP Insight Management Agents. Choose a user ID from the list and run ipmitool user set password ID. On some of the earlier models, this may be a paper tag. Now that you have the iLo configuration utility installed, you can reset the iLo password from the command line. Run ipmitool user list to list all users installed on the iLO. No matter if you are looking for a way to manage the iLO settings from the Linux command line or just have lost or forgotten the iLO password, as long as you have access to the Linux system running on the server, HP’s management utilities allows you to configure the iLO even without knowing the password for it. Need to have someone onsite to check the server tag.
