Connecting to the Components in the Solution
As you deploy the HPE Converged Architecture 700 with Nimble Storage solution, you will need to connect
to various components. Use the information in this section for guidance on how to connect to a specific
component during the solution build or as a general reference.
HPE iLO
Perform the steps in this procedure to log in to the HPE Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) of an HPE ProLiant server.
Procedure
1 Using a web browser, navigate to the iLO to which you want to connect.
For example, to connect to the iLO of the first management server, navigate to
https://<<mgmt_server_1_ilo_ip>>.
2 Accept any security warnings to continue to the website.
3 Log in with the user name admin and the password <<mgmt_server_ilo_password>>.
4 To access the Integrated Remote Console, click the .NET link or the Java link on the Overview page.
HPE Onboard Administrator
Perform the steps in this procedure to log in to the active HPE Onboard Administrator of an enclosure.
Procedure
1 Using a web browser, navigate to https://<<enclosure_1_oa_1_ip>>.
2 Accept any security warnings to continue to the website.
3 Log in with the user name admin and the password <<enclosure_1_password>>.
4 Alternatively, connect to the Onboard Administrator CLI through an SSH connection, using PuTTY,
TeraTerm, or another SSH client.
Network Switches
How you connect to the network switches depends on whether networking has been configured on them. A
serial connection is always possible. If the switch is available on the network, you can use an SSH connection
instead of a serial connection.
Procedure
1 Connect a serial cable between the deployment PC and the switch.
2 Using a terminal emulation program that supports serial connections (for example, TeraTerm), select the
correct serial port.
3 Configure the port settings for 9600 baud, 8-bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
