Ordering this SKU with the server will instruct the factory NOT to randomize the password and set a HPE defined common password. However, some customers that onboard large numbers of servers view this as an impediment to automation.Ĭustomers who prefer to get their servers with a well-defined or common default iLO password, may now order SKU P08040-B21 along with their servers. Using the randomized password is a security best practice.

The default password is used for the initial login and is restored when iLO is Reset to Defaults. The randomized string which is the initial password for the iLO is printed on the iLO Default Network Settings Tag. This new, simplified approach allows customers to have either standard, included features, or upgrade to licensed features that are all available with iLO Advanced.Ĭurrently, when a customer orders a server, the server is shipped with the default iLO password being a randomized string. With iLO 5 Firmware version v1.40, the iLO Advanced license will include all licensed features. Industry leading features that enhance server administrator productivity are available through optional licenses. No installation needed and minimal setup is required. These capabilities are included with the Server at no extra cost (iLO Standard). It helps simplify server set up, engage health monitoring as well as power and thermal control.

ILO is key to make the server operational and boot. This technology is combination of the iLO ASIC that is part of the server-board and the firmware that powers the ASIC. It is the core foundation for the intelligence of the HPE Servers. Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) is an embedded technology that ships in HPE Servers.
