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!

FENCE_AGENT(8) System Manager's Manual FENCE_AGENT(8)
NAME
fence_ipmilan - Fence agent for IPMI over LAN
fence_ilo3 - Fence agent for HP iLO3 (symlink)
fence_ilo4 - Fence agent for HP iLO4 (symlink)
fence_idrac - Fence agent for Dell iDRAC (symlink)
fence_imm - Fence agent for IBM Integrated Management Module (symlink)
DESCRIPTION
fence_ipmilan is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with machines controlled by IPMI. This agent calls support software using ipmitool
(http://ipmitool.sf.net/).
To use fence_ipmilan with HP iLO 3 or HP iLO 4 you have to enable lanplus option (lanplus / -P) and increase wait after operation to 4 sec-
onds (power_wait=4 / -T 4)
fence_ipmilan accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin. Fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent.
fence_ipmilan can be run by itself with command line options. This is useful for testing and for turning outlets on or off from scripts.
