Perform the following hardware preparation tasks from the iLO Setup Utility for each node
in your XC system:
1. Turn on power to the node. Watch the screen carefully dur ing the power-on self-test, and
press the F8 key when prompted to access the Integrated Lights Out Setup
Utility.
2. Choose User —> Add to create a common iLO user and password that is unique to
your site. This user name and password are required to access the console port with
the telnet cp-nodename command.
The password must have a minimum of 8 characters by default, but this value is
configurable. You must set the same user name and password on every node in the system.
_______________________ Note _______________________
The user Administrator is predefined by default, but you must create
your own user nam e and password. For security p urp oses, HP recommends
that you delete the Administrator user.
3. Choose Network –> DNS/DHCP –> DHCP Enable and set it to On to ensure that
the iLO device is requesting IP addresses through the Dynamic Host Control Protocol
(DHCP).
4. Choose Settings –> CLI –> Serial CLI Speed (bits/second) and set
the value to 115200.PresstheF10 keytosavethesetting.
