To set any setting on the iLO, an xml file (called iLO4_set_password.xml in this example) needs to be prepared. In the following, the “Administrator” password is set. It can be used to retrieve and change the iLO configuration of the local server from the linux command line. The hponcfg utility is an online configuration tool used to set up and reconfigure the local iLO without requiring a reboot of the server operating system. The repository offers a number of packages with hponcfg being the one necesarry to set the password for the iLO. curl | apt-key add -Īfter setting up the repository, the hponcfg utility can be installed. At the time of writing, in 2018, importing the old keys seems not to really be necessary to setup the repository on Debian.

It is suggested to install all the keys to be able to verify packages that have been signed before 2015. To verify the signature, the corresponding keys need to be installed too. The steps below show the installation for Debian.Īdding the repository on Debian: echo "# HPE Management Component Pack" >/etc/apt//hp-nonfree.listĮcho "deb jessie/current non-free" >/etc/apt//hp-nonfree.list Installing the Management Component Packįollow the instructions from this page about the Management Component Pack (mcp) to install the mcp repository (the page also lists which distributions and versions are supported).
As such, an additional repository needs to be added. The hp utilities are not part of the standard distributions’ repositories. To reset / set the password of the iLO from within the linux operating system on an HP server, the hponcfg utility needs to be installed. No matter if you are looking for a way to manage the iLO settings from the Linux command line or just have lost or forgotten the iLO password, as long as you have access to the Linux system running on the server, HP’s management utilities allows you to configure the iLO even without knowing the password for it.
