Setting Options

Use this menu to view and configure iLO access settings.

  • iLO 5 Functionality—Specifies whether iLO functionality is available. When this setting is enabled (default), the iLO network is available and communications with operating system drivers are active. When this setting is disabled, the iLO network and communications with operating system drivers are terminated.

    The iLO network and communications with operating system drivers are terminated when iLO functionality is disabled.

    NOTE:

    For ProLiant blade servers, the iLO functionality cannot be disabled on blade servers.

  • iLO 5 Configuration Utility—Enables or disables the iLO 5 Configuration Utility.

    If this option is set to Disabled, the iLO 5 Configuration Utility menu item is not available when you access the UEFI System Utilities.

  • Require Login for iLO 5 Configuration—Determines whether a user-credential prompt is displayed when a user accesses the iLO 5 functionality.

    If this setting is Enabled, provide user credentials for functions, including updating with SUM and RESTful Interface Tool.

  • Show iLO 5 IP Address during POST—Enables the display of the iLO network IP address during host server POST.
  • Local Users—Enables or disables local user account access.
  • Serial CLI Status—Specifies the login model of the CLI feature through the serial port. Settings are:
    • Enabled-Authentication Required—Enables access to the iLO CLP from a terminal connected to the host serial port. Valid iLO user credentials are required.
    • Enabled-No Authentication Required—Enables access to the iLO CLP from a terminal connected to the host serial port. iLO user credentials are not required.
    • Disabled—Disables access to the iLO CLP from the host serial port.

      Use this option if you are planning to use physical serial devices.

  • Serial CLI Speed (bits/second)—Specifies the speed of the serial port for the CLI feature. Settings (in bits per second) are:

    • 9600

    • 19200

    • 57600

    • 115200

    For correct operation, set the serial port configuration to no parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit (N/8/1).
    NOTE:

    The 38400 speed is supported in the iLO web interface, but is not currently supported by the iLO 5 Configuration Utility.

  • iLO Web Interface—Specifies whether the iLO web interface can be used to communicate with iLO. This setting is enabled by default.
