Onboard Administrator Single Sign-On

To enable SSO, you must upload the Insight Control for vCenter certificate to the Onboard Administrator.

1.On the Onboard Administrator, navigate to Users/Authentication→Local Users→HP SIM Integration.

2.Set the trust mode to Trust by Certificate.

3.Locate and copy the certificate using one of the following methods:

In the vSphere Client, access the HP Home Settings page. See “Configuring the Server Module for vCenter” (page 7).

Click the Certificate Administration tab. Copy the text from the Self Signed Certificate text box.

Access the certificate in the following file: install location\share\server.pem

Open this file with a text editor, such as Notepad, and then copy the text.

4.Click the Onboard Administrator SIM Integration Certificate Upload tab, and then paste the contents of the Insight Control for vCenter certificate into the box.

Associating the VMware host to iLO

In order for Insight Control for vCenter to display HP management information correctly, the VMware host must be associated with its iLO. The method of iLO association varies, depending on the version of Insight Control for vCenter and the VMware host configuration.

Automatic association

Automatic host-to-iLO association occurs when the following conditions are met:

Insight Control for vCenter Versions 6.3 and later must have HP Management Agents for VMware ESX or the HP ESXi Offline Bundle for VMware ESXi installed on the host.

For Insight Control for vCenter Versions 6.2.2 and earlier, the association is derived from HP SIM automatically if HP SIM is present in the environment. HP SIM may require that the HP Management Agents for VMware ESX or the HP ESXi Offline Bundle for VMware ESXi are installed on the host.

Manual association

You can manually associate the host-to-iLO using either the VMware Power Management settings, or using the Insight Control for vCenter properties page. Manual association is supported in all versions of Insight Control for vCenter.

Using the VMware Power Management settings

1.In the vSphere user interface, select the host to be associated and click the Configuration tab.

2.In the Software section, click Power Management.

3.Click the Properties link.

The Edit IPMI/iLO Settings dialog box appears.
