ExplanationAlert
The server was unable to power on because the BL p-Class rack
indicated that insufficient power was available to power on the server.
Rack Server Power On Failed
The server was manually forced by the customer to power on despite
the BL p-Class reporting insufficient power.
Rack Server Power On Manual Override
The name of the ProLiant BL p-Class rack was changed.Rack Name Changed
Inability to receive HP SIM alarms (SNMP traps) fromiLO 2
A user with the Configure iLO 2 Settings privilege must connect to iLO 2 to configure SNMP trap
parameters. When connected to iLO 2, be sure that the correct alert types and trap destinations
are enabled in the SNMP/Insight Manager Settings screen of the iLO 2 console application.
iLO 2 Security Override switch
The iLO 2 Security Override switch allows emergency access to the administrator with physical
control over the server system board. Setting the iLO 2 Security Override switch allows login access,
with all privileges, without a user ID and password.
The iLO 2 Security Override switch is located inside the server and cannot be accessed without
opening the server enclosure. To set the iLO 2 Security Override switch, the server must be powered
off and disconnected from the power source. Set the switch and then power on the server. Reverse
the procedure to clear the iLO 2 Security Override switch.
A warning message appears on the iLO 2 Web pages, indicating that the iLO 2 Security Override
switch is currently in use. An iLO 2 log entry is added recording the use of the iLO 2 Security
Override switch. An SNMP alert can also be sent upon setting or clearing the iLO 2 Security
Override switch.
In the unlikely event that it is necessary, setting the iLO 2 Security Override switch also enables
you to flash the iLO 2 boot block. The boot block is exposed until iLO 2 is reset. HP recommends
that you disconnect iLO 2 from the network until the reset is complete.
Depending on the server, the iLO 2 Security Override switch might be a single jumper or it might
be a specific switch position on a dip switch panel. To access the iLO 2 Security Override switch,
refer to the server documentation.
Authentication code error message
Within a Mozilla browser, you might receive an incorrect message authentication code error
message, which indicates that the public or private key pair and certificate used to initiate the
browser SSL session has changed. This error message can occur when you do not use a customer
provided certificate, because iLO 2 generates its own self-signed certificate each time it is rebooted.
To resolve this, close and restart the Web browser, or install your own certificates into iLO 2.
Troubleshooting directory issues
The following sections discuss troubleshooting directory issues.
Domain/name format login issues
To login using the domain/name format, ActiveX controls must be enabled. To verify that your
browser is letting the login script call ActiveX controls open Internet Explorer and set ActiveX controls
to Prompt.
