After an OA user has been created in the iLO 3 database, the OA user login can still fail for a number of reasons: • Maximum number of connections for the requested connection type (SSH, Telnet, web GUI) to iLO 3 has been reached. • Requested connection type (SSH, Telnet, or web) to iLO 3 is currently disabled. User deletion When the OA sends a request to iLO 3 to delete a user, iLO 3 attempts to delete that user from the local iLO 3 user database. Deletion of an OA user could fail if a user with the specified login does not exist (user could have been deleted through other iLO 3 user interface). Connecting to a server blade iLO 3 using the console serial port When a physical connection directly to a server blade iLO 3 is necessary, you can connect through the console serial port. For a server blade, you can connect directly through the SUV cable to the serial console or you can connect using the MP LAN internal connection in the blade enclosure. You do not cable up a separate MP LAN cable to each server blade. To log in to iLO 3, see Chapter 4 (page 28). Connecting to iLO 3 using the Onboard Administrator For instructions on physically connecting a server blade to iLO 3 through the OA, see the HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure setup and installation guide on the HP website at http:// h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DocumentIndex.jsp?contentType=SupportManual Unless SSH is disabled and the local user database is disabled (enabled is default), you can connect from the OA using connect server n. On HP Integrity server blades, you also have access to the console port. It is not necessary to physically connect to iLO 3 through the console serial port to perform management tasks. Use the OA/iLO LAN port to communicate with any iLO 3 in the enclosure and the OA. You can use the LCD panel and the OA to configure and determine the iLO MP LAN address. To log in to iLO 3, see Chapter 4 (page 28). Additional setup This section provides additional information to set up iLO 3. Integrity iLO 3 comes preconfigured with an Administrator account and a randomly generated password. All Rights (Administrator) level user: login = Administrator password = Randomly generated password found on the iLO Network Information Tag NOTE: • On server blades, the iLO Network Information Tag is located on the right side of the monarch blade. • On the HP Integrity rx2800 i2 server, the iLO Network Information Tag is located on the front panel.

When the OA sends a request to iLO 3 to delete a user, iLO 3 attempts to delete that user from
the local iLO 3 user database.
Deletion of an OA user could fail if a user with the specified login does not exist (user could have
been deleted through other iLO 3 user interface).

the console serial port.
For a server blade, you can connect directly through the SUV cable to the serial console or you
can connect using the MP LAN internal connection in the blade enclosure. You do not cable up a
