Configuration Booting for the first time and accessing Intelligent Provisioning Using the Edgeline EL8000 Chassis Manager web interface to manage blade power The Edgeline EL8000 Chassis Manager web interface offers four ways to manage the blade power. Blade power can also be managed using the iLO 5 web interface.
When you first power on a ProLiant Gen10 server, the server displays a list of booting subsystems and self tests. After the initial Power On Self Test (POST), the server displays the HPE ProLiant initialization screen. The checked icons at the bottom right represent each option that is present or installed on the server.
Completing the Intelligent Provisioning setup wizard The first time you access Intelligent Provisioning on an HPE server, you must complete the first time setup wizard. These basic settings enable Intelligent Provisioning to display the proper language and time, set basic boot options, and communicate on your network.
Page 45
UEFI Optimized Boot Disabled For the best feature availability and ease of use, HPE recommends selecting UEFI Optimized Boot. You can switch to other boot modes as needed using configuration settings available after the wizard is complete. However, you will not be able to run Intelligent Provisioning again if you choose Legacy Boot Mode.
Page 46
Enable DHCP Auto-Configuration. b. Leave Off disabled. Enabling the Off selection will make the server unavailable to iLO. HPE recommends leaving this setting disabled. 12. From the System Software Update menu, select Update from HPE.com. This selection allows Intelligent Provisioning to prompt you when updates are available, and then download any software updates for your server directly from the HPE website.
Page 47
Select an Install Source from the list. The options and the required information and action for each are described in the following table. NOTE: Always On Intelligent Provisioning is limited to only using network install sources. Media type Required information/action DVD-ROM Media Insert the DVD.
Update your new server’s firmware Driver updates Most drivers are included with supported installed operating systems. However, some option cards may require you to download HPE supplied drivers. Check the documentation provided for the option cards for more information. Configuration...
NOTE: If you are installing the drivers in a secure boot environment, see Secure Boot for Linux on HPE Servers for a complete set of instructions. HPE ProLiant e910 Server Blade Smart Component firmware updates HPE makes updates available for download that allow for feature additions and fixes. Download the firmware from the HPE website and execute the updates as described in the instructions.
What is iLO? iLO 5 is a remote server management processor embedded on the system boards of HPE ProLiant servers and Synergy compute modules. iLO enables the monitoring and controlling of servers from remote locations. iLO management is a powerful tool that provides multiple ways to configure, update, monitor, and repair servers remotely.
For more information, see the Top 10 security settings for HPE iLO 5 and Recommended Security Settings in HPE iLO 5 videos. Learn more about security settings for iLO 5 HPE developed a video to help teach you about security settings in iLO 5. To see the video, click one of the following links: HPE hosted video •...
IMPORTANT: Hewlett Packard Enterprise does not recommend setting the Minimum Password Length to fewer than eight characters unless you have a physically secure management network that does not extend outside the secure data center. Preparing to set up iLO Before setting up an iLO management processor, you must decide how to handle networking and security. The following questions can help you set up iLO: Procedure 1.
• The iLO management port must be connected to a network that is connected to a DHCP server, and iLO must be on the network before power is applied. DHCP sends a request soon after power is applied. If the DHCP request is not answered when iLO first boots, it will reissue the request at 90-second intervals.
• Management Service (AMS) driver. NOTE: If you are installing the drivers in a secure boot environment, see Secure Boot for Linux on HPE Servers for a complete set of instructions. Information made available when the AMS driver is installed...
Do not disable the iLO Dedicated Network Port HPE iLO provides an option on the iLO Dedicated Network Port > General page, in the NIC Settings section for disabling the iLO Dedicated Network Port. Disabling this port also removes the ability for the iLO to communicate the Edgeline EL8000...
Chassis Manager. When the port is disabled, the Edgeline EL8000 Chassis Manager web interface will show the ProLiant e910 Server Blade as failed. No options to control the ProLiant e910 Server Blade will be active or able to show status messages.
Managing local user accounts with the iLO 5 Configuration Utility Adding user accounts (iLO 5 Configuration Utility) Procedure (Optional) If you access the server remotely, start an iLO remote console session. Restart or power on the server. Press F9 in the server POST screen. The UEFI System Utilities start.
Update the Login Name. Update the Password. a. Move the cursor to the Password box, and then press Enter. The Enter your new password box opens. b. Type the password, and then press Enter. The Confirm your new password box opens. c.
Managing the server power The Virtual Power Button section on the Server Power page displays the current power state of the server, as well as options for remotely controlling server power. System Power indicates the state of the server power when the page is first opened. The server power state can be ON, OFF, or Reset.
The values you enter on the Access Settings page apply to all iLO users. Service settings You can configure the following settings in the Service section on the Access Settings page. Secure Shell (SSH) Allows you to enable or disable the SSH feature. SSH provides encrypted access to the iLO CLP.
If you customize the SNMP Trap Port , some SNMP monitoring applications might not work correctly with iLO unless those applications support the use of a nonstandard SNMP trap port. To use SNMP v3 with HPE SIM 7.2 or later, change the SNMP Trap Port value to 50005. IPMI/DCMI over LAN Allows you to send industry-standard IPMI and DCMI commands over the LAN.
This option must be enabled when you register a server for Insight Remote Support central connect or Remote Support from HPE OneView. The following message is displayed if you try to use RIBCL when it is disabled: <?xml version="1.0"?>...
Page 63
When this setting is enabled (default), the iLO configuration options are available when you access the UEFI System Utilities. When this setting is disabled, the iLO configuration options are not available when you access the UEFI System Utilities. This setting cannot be enabled if option ROM prompting is disabled in the system BIOS. This option is called iLO 5 Configuration Utility in the UEFI System Utilities.
Page 64
Serial Command Line Interface Speed Enables you to change the speed of the serial port for the CLI feature. The following speeds (in bits per second) are valid: 9600 (default) • For Synergy compute modules only: Ensure that this value is set to 9600. If you use another value, you cannot access the Serial Command Line Interface from the Synergy Console and Composer CLI.
