HP iLO using DHCP & Default Password
Hi, I have two questions about HP system iLO:
(1) The <HP iLO 2 User Guide> says "Configure the IP address: This step is necessary only if you are using a static IP address. When using dynamic IP addressing, your DHCP server will automatically assign an IP address for iLO 2. HP recommends using DNS or DHCP with iLO 2 to simplify installation".
Everyone knows DHCP assigns IPs. But how can I know what IP the DHCP server assigns to the iLO? I can't connect to the iLO without knowing its IP first.
(2) The <HP iLO 2 User Guide> says "The default values are:
• User name—Administrator
• Password—A random, eight-character, alphanumeric string
• DNS Name—ILOXXXXXXXXXXXX, where the Xs represent the serial number of the server"
I don't get it again. What is the default password?
Thank you in advance!

NAME
fence_ilo - Fence agent for HP iLO
fence_ilo2 - Fence agent for HP iLO2 (symlink)
DESCRIPTION
fence_ilo is an I/O Fencing agent used for HP servers with the Integrated Light Out (iLO) PCI card.The agent opens an SSL connection to the
iLO card. Once the SSL connection is established, the agent is able to communicate with the iLO card through an XML stream.
fence_ilo accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin. Fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent.
fence_ilo can be run by itself with command line options. This is useful for testing and for turning outlets on or off from scripts.
