First Time Setup using the iLO Integrated Remote Console for Composer2

This procedure describes how to perform First Time Setup (FTS) of the HPE Synergy Composer2 through the iLO Integrated Remote Console (iLO IRC).

Prerequisites
  • Privileges: Infrastructure administrator

  • A user account is set up to access the HPE Synergy Composer2 iLO.

  • If you use the iLO .NET IRC, the HTTP protocol and port 80 are enabled on your firewall, if any, between the web browser on your system (from where you want to launch the iLO IRC to the Composer2 iLO) and Composer2 iLO.

Procedure
  1. Log in to Composer2 iLO using a browser.
  2. Launch the iLO IRC to access the Composer2.

    Switch between the graphical console or the Composer2 maintenance console. By default, the Composer2 console displays a graphical browser interface. Use Ctrl+Alt+F1 and Ctrl+Alt+F2 to switch between the graphical interface and the maintenance console.

  3. Toggle to the HPE OneView UI and log in as an administrator.
  4. Click Hardware setup.
  5. Apply the network settings.

You can access Composer2 through an external browser after network settings have been applied to the Composer2.
