194 User Guide Integrated Lights-Out

Every LOM device that uses the directory service to authenticate and authorize users must be configured with the appropriate directory settings. Refer to "Configuring Directory Settings (on page 184)" for details on the specific directory settings. In general, administrators configure each device with the appropriate directory server address, LOM object distinguished name, and any user contexts. The server address is either the IP address or DNS name of a local directory server or, for more redundancy, a multi-host DNS name.

Using Bulk Import Tools

Adding and configuring large numbers of LOM objects is time consuming. HP provides several utilities to assist in these tasks. Below is a brief description of the utilities available.

•HP Lights-Out Migration Utility

The HP Lights-Out Migration utility, HPQLOMIG.EXE, imports and configures multiple LOM devices. HPQLOMIG.EXE includes a GUI that provides a step-by-step approach to implementing or upgrading large numbers of management processors. HP recommends using this GUI method when upgrading numerous management processors. For more information, refer to the "Lights-Out Directories Migration Utilities (on page 205)" section.

•HP Lights-Out Migration Command Utility

The HP Lights-Out Migration Command utility, HPQLOMGC.EXE, offers a command-line approach to migration, rather than a GUI-based approach. This utility works in conjunction with the Application Launch and query features of Insight Manager 7 to configure many devices at a time. Customers that must configure only a few LOM devices to use directory services might also prefer the command-line approach. For more information, refer to the "Lights-Out Directories Migration Utilities (on page 205)" section.

•Insight Manager 7 and Systems Insight Manager can:

− Manage multiple LOM devices.
