For more information on managing the directory service, see “Directory-enabled remote
management” (page 156). Examples are available in “Directory services for Active Directory”
(page 140) and “Directory services for eDirectory” (page 149).
5. Handle exceptions
• Lights-Out migration utilities are easier to use with a single Lights-Out role. If you plan to
create multiple roles in the directory, you might need to use directory scripting utilities,
like LDIFDE or VB script, to create complex role associations. For more information, see
“Using bulk import tools” (page 162).
• If you have iLO 2 or RILOE processors with old firmware, you might need to manually
update the firmware using a browser. Minimum firmware requirements for remote firmware
update using RIBCL and directory migration utility are:

After the schema has been extended, you can complete the directory services setup by using HP
Lights-Out Directories Migration Utilities. For more information, see “HPQLOMIG directory migration
utility” (page 162). The migration utilities are included in the HP Lights-Out Directory Package.
Version 1.13 of the Directories Migration Utility allows Lights-Out import and export and supports
different user credentials for each Lights-Out processor.
Schema documentation
To assist with the planning and approval process, HP provides documentation on the changes
made to the schema during the schema setup process. To review the changes made to your existing
schema, see “Directory services schema” (page 171).
Directory services support
Using HP schema directory integration, iLO 2 supports the following directory services:
• Microsoft Active Directory
• Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Active Directory
• Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Active Directory
• Novell eDirectory 8.7.3
• Novell eDirectory 8.7.1
iLO 2 software is designed to run within the Microsoft Active Directory Users and Computers and
Novell ConsoleOne management tools, enabling you to manage user accounts on Microsoft Active
Directory or Novell eDirectory. This solution makes no distinction between eDirectory running on
NetWare, Linux, or Windows. Spawning an eDirectory schema extension requires Java 1.4.0 or
later for SSL authentication.
iLO 2 supports Microsoft Active Directory running on one of the following operating systems:
• Windows Server 2008
• Windows Server 2003
iLO 2 supports eDirectory running on Novell.
