iLO Security | 137 |
•The boot block is exposed for programming.
A warning message is displayed on iLO browser pages indicating that the iLO Security Override Switch is currently in use. An iLO log entry records the use of the iLO Security Override Switch. An SNMP alert can also be sent upon setting or clearing the iLO Security Override Switch.
Setting the iLO Security Override Switch also enables you to flash the iLO boot block. HP does not anticipate that you will need to update the iLO boot block. If an iLO boot block update is ever required, physical presence at the server will be required to reprogram the boot block and reset iLO. The boot block will be exposed until iLO is reset. For maximum security, HP recommends that you disconnect the iLO from the network until the reset is complete. The iLO Security Override Switch is located inside the server and cannot be accessed without opening the server enclosure.
To set the iLO Security Override Switch:
1.Power off the server.
2.Set the switch.
3.Power on the server.
Reverse the procedure to clear the iLO Security Override Switch.
Depending on the server, the iLO Security Override Switch might be a single jumper or a specific switch position on a dip switch panel. To access and locate the iLO Security Override Switch, refer to the server documentation. The iLO Security Override Switch can also be located using the diagrams on the server access panel.
