Login and password are case sensitive.

TIP: For security reasons, HP strongly recommends you modify the default settings during the initial login session.

Make the following changes using any of the iLO 2 MP user interfaces.

To modify default account configuration settings, follow these steps:

1.Log in as the administrator. You must log in as the administrator in order to modify default user configuration settings

2.To modify default passwords:

a.Access the MP Main Menu.

b.Enter CM at the MP> prompt.

c.Enter UC at the MP:CM> prompt and follow the prompts to modify default passwords.

3.To setup user accounts:

a.Access the MP Main Menu.

b.Enter CM at the MP> prompt.

c.Enter UC at the MP:CM> prompt and follow the prompts to modify user accounts.

Setting Up Security

For greater security and reliability, HP generally recommends that iLO 2 MP management traffic be on a separate dedicated management network and that only administrators be granted access to that network. This not only improves performance by reducing traffic load across the main network, it also acts as the first line of defense against security attacks. A separate network enables administrators to physically control which workstations are connected to the network.

HP also strongly recommends you modify the default settings during the initial logon session and determine the security access required and what user accounts and privileges are needed. Create local accounts or use directory services to control user access. See “Modifying User Accounts and Default Password” (page 89).

Security Access Settings

Determine the security access required and what user accounts and privileges are needed. The iLO 2 MP provides options to control user access. Select one of the following options to prevent unauthorized access to the iLO 2 MP:

Change the default user name and password. See “Modifying User Accounts and Default Password” (page 89)).

CAUTION: When DHCP is enabled, the system is vulnerable to security risks because anyone can access the iLO 2 MP until you change the default user name and password.

HP strongly recommends you assign user groups and rights before proceeding.

Create local accounts. You can store up to 19 user names and passwords to manage iLO 2 MP access. This is ideal for small environments such as labs and small-to-medium sized businesses.

Use directory services. Use the corporate directory to manage iLO 2 MP user access. This is ideal for environments with a large number of frequently changing users. If you plan to use directory services, HP recommends leaving at least one local account enabled as an alternate method of access.

INTEGRITY RX3600 specifications

The HP Integrity RX3600 is a high-performance server designed to address the demanding needs of enterprises that require robust computing capabilities, reliability, and scalability. Part of the HP Integrity server family, the RX3600 is built on the Itanium architecture, which is known for its exceptional processing power and advanced features that support mission-critical applications.

One of the main features of the RX3600 is its capability to handle multiple workloads with ease. The server supports up to 64 GB of RAM, allowing for efficient multitasking and enhanced performance in data-intensive environments. Its modular design also enables organizations to scale up their systems by adding additional memory or processors as needed, making it a flexible choice for growing businesses.

The RX3600 is equipped with HP's Integrity Virtual Machines (VMs), which provide virtualization capabilities that allow businesses to run multiple operating systems and applications on a single physical server. This not only maximizes resource utilization but also simplifies management by reducing the number of physical servers required in the data center.

Another significant characteristic of the RX3600 is its advanced reliability features. The server is designed with fault-tolerant components, including redundant power supplies and cooling systems. This ensures that the server remains operational even in the event of hardware failures. Additionally, HP's Error Correction Code (ECC) memory helps detect and correct data corruption, further enhancing the system's reliability.

For security, the HP Integrity RX3600 includes built-in features such as Secure Boot, which ensures that the server boots using only trusted firmware and software. This protects against unauthorized changes and vulnerabilities that could compromise data integrity.

In terms of connectivity, the RX3600 offers multiple I/O options, including advanced networking capabilities that support high-speed data transfer and improved bandwidth. This is critical for organizations that rely on data-intensive applications and need to maintain seamless connectivity.

Furthermore, the server supports a range of operating systems, including HP-UX and Linux, making it adaptable to various enterprise environments. Its robust performance, reliability, and scalability make the HP Integrity RX3600 an ideal choice for businesses looking to optimize their IT infrastructure and support their critical workloads with confidence.
