password. Changing the default password is not required, but HP recommends changing the
factory default value for security purposes. Omit this step for all other server models.
1. Use the method of your choice to view the /etc/dhcpd.conf file and look for the characters
cp- in host names to determine console port names.
2. Use the telnet command and the internal name of the console port to log in to each node's
console management device and change the default password. Supply the factory default
user name admin and the default password admin to log in:
# telnet cp-node_name
login: admin
password: admin
3. The interface you use to change the password differs depending upon the BMC firmware
version. Thus, do one of the following:
• For BMC Firmware Version 1.03:
a. Press Esc and Shift-9 to enter the command-line mode.
b. Use the C[hange Password] option to change the console port password. The
factory default password is admin; change it to the password of your choice. This
password must be the same on every node in your system.
Lights-Out> C
Type the current password> admin
Type the new password (max 16 characters)> your_password
Retype the new password (max 16 characters)> your_password
New password confirmed.
Lights-Out> exit
• For BMC Firmware Version 1.24 or higher:
a. Press Esc and Shift-9 to enter into the command-line mode.
b. Change to the following directory:
/directory_name/-> cd map1/accounts
c. List the pre-defined users (by default, 16 users have been pre-defined):
/directory_name/-> show
d. One user at a time, use the show command until you find the first instance of the
user name admin . Start with user1 and continue executing the show command
for each user in sequential order:
/directory_name/-> show user1
/directory_name/-> show user2 {...userN}
For the purposes of this example, assume that user3 is the first instance of the
user name admin .
e. Change directory to the user directory obtained in the previous step:
/directory_name/-> cd user3
f. Set the password. Be very careful with your key strokes; there is no password
verification step:
/directory_name/-> set password=your_password
g. Exit from the interface:
/directory_name/-> exit
4. Repeat this procedure to change the console management device password on every HP
ProLiant DL140 and DL145 node in the hardware configuration.
5. Rerun the discover command with the same options.
