1 Introduction
Overview
HP Superdome 2 Onboard Administrator is the complex management processor, subsystem, and
firmware base used to support HP Integrity Superdome 2 complexes and all the managed devices
contained within the complex.
Onboard Administrator provides a single point from which to perform basic management tasks
for the following complex devices:
• Compute enclosures
• IOXs
• Server blades
• I/O interconnects
Onboard Administrator performs configuration steps for the complex, enables run-time management
and configuration of the complex components, and informs you of problems within the complex
through email, SNMP, or the Insight Display.
HP recommends that you read the HP Integrity Superdome 2 User Service Guide for complex
specific information before proceeding with the Onboard Administrator setup.
This user guide provides information on the following topics:
• Initial setup and operation of the HP Superdome 2 Onboard Administrator
• Use of the Onboard Administrator GUI
• Use of the compute enclosure Insight Display
• Initial setup and operation of the HP Superdome 2 Door Status Display
The HP Integrity Superdome 2 Onboard Administrator Command Line Interface User Guide covers
the use of the CLI.
The HP Superdome 2 Onboard Administrator provides several features designed to simplify
management of Superdome 2 enclosures, blades, and interconnects. Compute enclosures within
a Superdome 2 complex can be configured with redundant Onboard Administrator modules to
provide uninterrupted manageability of the entire complex in the event of a failure of a single
Onboard Administrator module.
The following table lists which Onboard Administrator feature is enhanced when an enclosure
contains redundant Onboard Administrator modules. For an enclosure with only a single Onboard
Administrator module, the table indicates the behavior of the enclosure if the single Onboard
Administrator module has failed or is removed.

Onboard Administrator module replacement and stored settings
When replacing an Onboard Administrator or if a failure occurs when using redundant Onboard
Administrators:
• Removing an Onboard Administrator module in a Superdome 2 enclosure with a redundant
Onboard Administrator module installed results in the other Onboard Administrator module
immediately becoming the active Onboard Administrator if it was the standby Onboard
Administrator. Only the network settings of the replaced Onboard Administrator network
settings are lost.
• If Onboard Administrator complex firmware versions are identical, manually update the
replaced Onboard Administrator network settings using the Insight Display. The replaced
Onboard Administrator module gets automatically synchronized on all enclosure settings by
the active Onboard Administrator.
NOTE: If the enclosure IP mode is enabled, both Onboard Administrators have the same
network settings and no manual update is required.
• If the complex firmware versions are not identical, the Onboard Administrator GUI and
Onboard Administrator CLI can be used to synchronize the firmware versions to the most
recent version in the modules, followed by synchronization of the active Onboard Administrator
configuration settings to the new standby Onboard Administrator module.

Onboard Administrator overview
Detecting component insertion and removal
Onboard Administrator provides component control in HP Integrity Superdome 2 blade enclosures.
Component management begins after the component is detected and identified. The Onboard
Administrator detects components in Superdome 2 enclosures through presence signals on each
bay. When you insert a component into a bay, or connect an IOX, the Onboard Administrator
immediately recognizes and identifies the component. If you remove a component from a bay or
disconnect an IOX, the Onboard Administrator deletes the information about that component.
Identifying components
To identify a component, Onboard Administrator reads an FRU EEPROM that contains specific
factory information about the component such as product name, part number, and serial number.
All FRU EEPROMs in Superdome 2 enclosures are powered on, even if the component is powered
off. Therefore, Onboard Administrator can identify the component before granting power. For
devices such as fans, power supplies, and Insight Display, Onboard Administrator directly reads
the FRU EEPROMs.
• The server blades contain several FRU EEPROMs: one on the server board, which contains
server information and embedded NIC information, and one on each installed mezzanine
option cards.
• Server blade control options also include extensive blade hardware information including:
Blade and partition firmware versions◦
◦ Blade name
◦ NIC and option card port IDs
◦ Port mapping
• Onboard Administrator provides easy-to-understand port mapping information for each server
blade and interconnect module in each enclosure.
The NIC and mezzanine option FRU data informs Onboard Administrator of the type of interconnects
each server requires. Before power is provided to a server blade, Onboard Administrator compares
this information with the FRU EEPROMs on installed interconnect modules to verify for electronic
keying errors. For interconnect modules, Onboard Administrator provides virtual power control,
dedicated serial consoles, and management Ethernet connections.
While Onboard Administrator is identifying components, the progress appears as steps on the
Insight Display. Discovery might take several minutes, and the number of installed mezzanine cards
on each server increases the time taken as each card is identified and verified.
Managing power and cooling
The most important Onboard Administrator tasks are power control and thermal management.
Onboard Administrator can remotely control the power state of all components in Superdome 2
Onboard Administrator overview 11
Page 12
compute enclosures. For components in device bays on the front of each enclosure, Onboard
Administrator communicates with iLO 3 to control blades, and with a microcontroller to control
options such as storage blades. A separate microcontroller controls power to the interconnect
modules.
After the components are powered on, the Onboard Administrator begins thermal management
with Thermal Logic. The Thermal Logic feature in Superdome 2 minimizes power consumption by
the enclosure fan subsystem by reading temperature sensors across the entire enclosure. Then,
Thermal Logic changes the fan speed in the various zones in the enclosure to minimize power
consumption and maximize cooling efficiency.
Controlling components
Onboard Administrator uses embedded management interfaces to provide detailed information
and health status of all bays in the enclosure including presence detection signals in each bay,
i2c, serial, USB, and Ethernet controllers. Onboard Administrator also offers information on firmware
versions for most components in the enclosure and can be used to update those components.
Managing partitions
The Onboard Administrator also enables users to define and manage partitions in a Superdome
2 complex.
An nPartition comprises one or more Superdome 2 server blades working as a single system. I/O
bays in IOX enclosures are assigned to nPartitions and any I/O component of a server blade,
including NICs and mezzanine cards are assigned to the nPartition containing the server blade.
In the complex, each nPartition has its own dedicated portion of the complex hardware which can
run a single instance of an operating system. Each nPartition can boot, reboot, and operate
independently of any other nPartitions and hardware within the same complex.
An nPartition includes all hardware assigned to the nPartition: all IOX I/O bays, I/O devices, and
server blades.
A complex can contain one or more nPartitions, enabling the hardware to function as a single
system or as multiple systems.
NOTE: For more information about partition creation and management, see the HP Integrity
Superdome 2 Partitioning Administrator Guide.
Interfaces
Each Superdome 2 compute enclosure has several external management interfaces that connect
the user to Onboard Administrator. The primary external management interface is the management
port for Onboard Administrator, which is an RJ-45 jack providing Ethernet communications not
only to Onboard Administrator, but also to every device or interconnect bay with a management
processor.
A serial port on the Onboard Administrator module provides full out-of-band CLI access to the
Onboard Administrator.
All Superdome 2 enclosures support two enclosure link connectors that provide private
communications among enclosures linked with CAT5 cable. In addition, the enclosure link-up
connector provides an enclosure service port that enables you to temporarily connect a personal
laptop computer to any linked enclosure Onboard Administrator for local diagnostics and
debugging.
NOTE: For complexes that have the HP Superdome 2 Door Status Display, the enclosure service
port is routed through the rack-mounted E-Switch.
Each Superdome 2 compute enclosure includes an embedded Insight Display on the front of the
enclosure, which provides status and information on all the bays in a Superdome 2 compute
12 Introduction
Page 13
enclosure and diagnostic information if the Onboard Administrator detects a problem in the
enclosure. The Insight Display configures key settings in the Onboard Administrator, including the
IP address of the Onboard Administrator.
Onboard Administrator user interfaces
The following user interfaces to the Onboard Administrator enable control and provide information
about the enclosure and installed components:
• Web interface GUI
• Scriptable CLI
• Insight Display
Remote network access to the Onboard Administrator GUI and CLI is available through the
management Ethernet port. The serial port of the Onboard Administrator is available for local CLI
access. The Superdome 2 compute enclosure link-up port is also available as the service port for
temporary local Ethernet access to the Onboard Administrators and devices in linked enclosures
using either the GUI or CLI.
NOTE: For complexes that have the HP Superdome 2 Door Status Display, the enclosure service
port is routed through the rack-mounted E-Switch.
Access the Insight Display directly through the buttons on the display, or remotely through the
Onboard Administrator GUI.
Onboard Administrator authentication
Security is maintained for all Onboard Administrator user interfaces through user authentication.
User accounts created in the Onboard Administrator define three user privilege levels and the
component bays to which each level is granted access. Onboard Administrator stores the passwords
for Local User accounts and can be configured to use LDAP authentication for user group accounts.
The Insight Display can be protected by an LCD PIN code or completely disabled.
Role-based user accounts
Onboard Administrator provides configurable user accounts that can provide complete isolation
of multiple administrative roles such as server, LAN, and SAN. User accounts are configured with
specific device bay or interconnect bay permissions and one of the three privilege levels:
• Administrator
• Operator
• User
An account with administrator privileges including Onboard Administrator bay permissions can
create or edit all user accounts on an enclosure. Operator privileges allow full information access
and control of permitted bays. User privileges allow information access, but no control capability.
Onboard Administrator requires the user to log in to the web GUI or CLI with an account and
password. The account can be a local account where the password is stored on Onboard
Administrator, or an LDAP account. The Onboard Administrator contacts the defined LDAP server
to verify the user credentials. Two-factor Authentication enables even tighter security for the user
management session to Onboard Administrator.
Rather than requiring separate logins to multiple resources (once to each enclosure or once to
every server management processor or both), Onboard Administrator enables single-point access.
Thus, the administrator can use single sign-on to log in to a single Onboard Administrator and use
the web GUI to graphically view and manage the HP Superdome 2 components in the entire
complex. For example, an IT administrator can automatically propagate management commands,
such as changing the enclosure power mode, throughout the complex.
Interfaces 13

Running Onboard Administrator for the first time
Setting up a Superdome 2 enclosure using the Onboard Administrator is simplified by using the
Insight Display setup process, followed by the use of the Onboard Administrator GUI First Time
Setup Wizard or Onboard Administrator CLI to complete the reset of the enclosure settings.
The Onboard Administrator modules and many interconnect modules default to DHCP for their
management IP address. If the user has DHCP and connects the Onboard Administrator management
port to the DHCP server, then the Onboard Administrator modules and interconnect modules
supporting and configured to use the Onboard Administrator internal management network
automatically get DHCP addresses from the user DHCP server.
If you do not have a DHCP server for assigning IP addresses to management processors, you must
configure each Onboard Administrator IP address and then all the individual device and interconnect
module management IP addresses by using one of the following methods:
• Recommended practice: Configure each Onboard Administrator with a static IP address using
the Insight Display. Then log in to the Onboard Administrator GUI and use the First Time Setup
Wizard or log in to the Onboard Administrator CLI and configure and enable EBIPA for device
bays and interconnect bays. Enabling EBIPA for a bay enables that server or interconnect
module to be replaced and the new module automatically gets the previously configured IP
address for that bay.
• Alternative: Configure each device and interconnect module for static IP manually. For
Superdome 2 server blades, you must connect to each server blade from the SUV port (using
the SUV cable included with each compute enclosure) and configure the iLO IP address
manually during POST by pressing F8 to access the iLO option ROM settings. For the
interconnect modules with management processors that can use the Onboard Administrator
management network, access and configure their IP address using either an external serial
console port or the Onboard Administrator CLI serial connection to that bay. After changing
the interconnect module IP address manually, the switch may require power cycling to use the
new setting.
The initial credentials to log on to a new Onboard Administrator module are printed on a label
on each module. The user is Administrator and the password is unique to each module. This
password must be captured by the installer and communicated to the remote Administrator for the
first remote logon to the Onboard Administrator GUI or Onboard Administrator CLI.
The enclosure settings can be configured manually or uploaded from a configuration script or file.
The web GUI offers a First Time Setup Wizard. The CLI can be accessed from the Onboard
Administrator serial port, Ethernet management port, service port, or by using the Enclosure KVM
- Onboard Administrator CLI button.
An alternative to manual configuration is to upload a enclosure configuration file to the active
Onboard Administrator using either the GUI or CLI with an HTTP, FTP or TFTP network location for
the configuration file, or use the GUI, CLI or Insight Display to upload a configuration file from a
USB key drive plugged into the active Onboard Administrator USB port.
The recommended practice to create an enclosure configuration file is to use the GUI, CLI, or Insight
Display USB Menu to save the existing configuration to a file. The saved configuration file is a set
of CLI text commands for each configuration item. The Onboard Administrator does not save user
passwords when it saves a configuration file. The user can edit the configuration file and insert the
password commands for each user account—or use the Administrator local account to individually
update all user passwords after restoring a previously saved enclosure configuration file.
If the enclosure contains redundant Onboard Administrator modules, the remaining Onboard
Administrator updates the new Onboard Administrator with all the settings.

For possible values and descriptions of each box, see “Managing users” (page 134).
Enclosure Bay IP Addressing screen
The Onboard Administrator EBIPA feature is intended to help you provision a fixed IP address to
a particular bay in an enclosure. The components plugged into the bays are set for DHCP, and
interconnect modules are configured to use the internal management port to Onboard Administrator.
If the component is configured for a static IP address, an EBIPA assignment to that bay has no
effect.
NOTE:
If you use DHCP servers on your management network, do not use EBIPA for management IP
address assignments.
If the server blade is configured for static IP address, it carries the same address even if the blade
is moved to another enclosure.
If the server blades are set for DHCP and the Onboard Administrator is configured for EBIPA for
that bay, iLO gets an EBIPA-configured IP address when it is plugged into that enclosure.
If your network has an external DHCP service or if you want to manually assign static IP addresses
one by one to the server blades and interconnect modules, click the Skip button to bypass this step.

5 Navigating Onboard Administrator
Navigation overview
The main HP Superdome 2 Onboard Administrator navigation system consists two views:
• Tree view: Llists all of the complex devices on the left side of the main page and remains visible
at all times.
• Graphical view: Displays a physical picture of the enclosures in the complex.
You can navigate the devices and functions in a complex through either of these views.
Tree view
The tree view aids in navigating individual compute enclosure devices, connected IOXs and functions
for all complex compute enclosures in a hierarchical manner. The rendering of the tree view depends
on several factors, including user permissions, device availability, and device status. If a user is
configured to be an Operator or User, it is possible that some options are not visible in the tree
view.
Navigation overview 55
Page 56
One of the main purposes of the tree view is to enable navigation using categories based on the
major systems within the complex. When a category is expanded (by clicking the white plus icon
on the blue box to the left of the category), an icon next to the category name can indicate a
degraded status of the affected system. In the case of multiple components reporting status, the
status icon indicates a cumulative worst-case status of all the devices in the same category.
Individual device pages
Clicking the link for an individual device selects the device, opens the device detail page, and
selects the device in the graphical view in the right frame of the GUI. Individual device pages
contain detailed information on the selected device and other device-related functions.
56 Navigating Onboard Administrator
Page 57
Category summary pages
Category summary pages contain summary information for each of the devices in that category.
For example, clicking the Device Bays link opens the Device Bay Summary screen. Each parent
element in the tree works in this manner. When you click a category summary link, no devices are
selected in the graphical view navigation.
System forms pages
Some devices, particularly HP Onboard Administrator, can have links to various system forms
pages listed after their main links in the left tree navigation view. Form pages contain input text
boxes, radio buttons, and other HTML input elements and are used to administer settings related
to the device to which they belong. For example, you can use the HP Onboard Administrator
system forms page to change IP address settings or update firmware. These forms are linked under
the HP Onboard Administrator parent element. When you click a system forms link, the device to
which the form page belongs is selected in the graphical view. For example, clicking the UID State
link for the Active HP Onboard Administrator selects the Active HP Onboard Administrator device
in the graphical view. Links to system forms do not display status icons.
Graphical view navigation
The second component of the HP Superdome 2 Onboard Administrator GUI navigation system is
a graphical representation of physical enclosures, called the graphical view. The graphical view
consists of two subcomponents: a front view and a rear view.
The following image shows the graphical view of a typical Superdome 2 compute enclosure.
Navigation overview 57
Page 58
Selecting a device
To select a device, click the graphical representation of the device in the front or rear graphical
view. When you select a device, its border changes from gray to light blue indicating that it is the
now selected device. Selecting a device in the graphical view selects the corresponding device in
the left navigation tree view. Every time you select a device from any part of the navigation system,
the rest of the navigation reflects the device selection event and updates accordingly.
Status reporting
The graphical view reports the status of every device in the enclosure. The status of each device
is indicated next to the device by a small status icon. No status icon appears for a device that is
working properly and has an OK status. However, all other status codes appear as status icons
next to the device.
Device security
Although the front and rear graphical views are both affected by user permissions, security on the
graphical view is handled differently from the left tree view. If the user does not have the permissions
to access a device, a blank bay appears regardless of whether a device is present in that bay,
58 Navigating Onboard Administrator
Page 59
and a padlock icon appears in the bay table cell, indicating that the bay is locked to the current
user.
The user cannot select a locked bay. When the user hovers the mouse over the locked bay, a
message appears, indicating that the user does not have permission to access devices in that bay.
Minimizing the graphical view
To minimize the graphical view from the main display, click the box with the arrow, located directly
to the left of the name of the enclosure in the graphical view box. This minimizes the graphical
view and gives more room for the main section of the display. This is useful when viewing the
Onboard Administrator on a small monitor or on a monitor with low resolution.

6 Complex Overview
Complex Overview screen
The Complex Overview screen displays a graphical representation of each compute enclosure in
the complex, called the graphical view. The graphical view consists of a front view and a rear
view of each enclosure. When you mouse over a device in the graphical view, a window appears
with information on that device. The graphical view provides status on each device in the enclosure
and gives you the option of selecting an individual device for viewing more detailed information.

The enclosure power delay feature controls the order in which components are powered on if the
entire enclosure has been power cycled. This feature is only enabled during the active HP Superdome
2 Onboard Administrator boot process if the Onboard Administrator detects that the entire enclosure
has been power cycled and power delay has been enabled on at least one component in the
enclosure.
The active HP Superdome 2 Onboard Administrator displays a message in the system log when
power delay has been initiated, and also displays a message in the system log when power delay
has completed after the longest power delay has passed. The HP Superdome 2 Onboard
Administrator factory default setting is to disable power delay for all components.
76 Configuring HP Integrity Superdome 2 compute enclosures and enclosure devices
Page 77
Typical use cases involving bay to bay dependencies that can be resolved by enabling the enclosure
power delay feature include:
• Boot from network: Network interconnects must complete power on self test prior to servers
that are configured to boot from the network (for example, PXE or iSCSI).
• Boot from SAN: SAN interconnects must complete power on self test prior to servers that are
configured to boot from SAN
• Critical service dependencies controlled by a server such as DHCP or licensing
• Storage servers must be operational prior to servers requiring those resources
The delay time setting must be determined empirically since some dependencies are outside the
enclosure (boot from SAN might require additional delay to enable the datacenter SAN storage
system to power on). Each interconnect module has different power on timing before it is operational.
The timer used for power delay is started at the time the Onboard Administrator enters the first
system log message during Onboard Administrator initialization indicated by the system log
message Kernel: Network link up. When the HP Superdome 2 Onboard Administrator
indicates PowerDelay has been initiated for the selected devices in the system
log, the configured delay times for each bay are used to determine when that component is turned
on. After the selected delay time has elapsed, that component is turned on.
Valid settings for each bay are: Disabled, Enabled and No Poweron.
• Disabled - Disables powerdelay for this bay. HP Superdome 2 Onboard Administrator grants
power to this bay based on its power settings: for a device configured to auto power-on, the
device is granted power following an enclosure power cycle after all the Onboard Administrator
configuration checks are complete.
• Enabled - Enables powerdelay for this bay. HP Superdome 2 Onboard Administrator turns
on this bay based on the number of seconds elapsed following the detection of an enclosure
power cycle event.
• No Poweron - Prevents component power on for the bays with this configuration until after
the HP Superdome 2 Onboard Administrator logs PowerDelay has completed for
the selected devices. At this time, if the device is configured to auto power-on, the
device grants power following an enclosure power cycle after all the Onboard Administrator
configuration checks are complete.
If the device is configured to disable auto poweron, the device remains off following an enclosure
power cycle independent of the setting of power delay for that bay.
Device Bays Standard tab and Double Dense tabs
The Device Bays Standard tab indicates the current settings for all the primary bays based on the
type of enclosure. To change a setting on a particular device bay, use the menu under the Enabled
column and select Enabled, Disabled or No Poweron. If Enabled is selected, a power delay in
seconds must be entered in the Delay column for this bay. The minimum value is 1 second; the
maximum value is 3600 seconds.
If double dense C-class server blades are installed in an enclosure the power delay settings for
Side A and Side B are controlled in the Double Dense Side A and Double Dense Side B tabs.

Enclosure TCP/IP Settings screen
This screen displays the current enclosure TCP/IP settings for the Active Onboard Administrator
and enables you to change the following settings:
• Enclosure IP Mode: The Enclosure IP Mode ensures all management applications point to the
active Onboard Administrator of the enclosure, using a single static IP address. This mode is
for enclosures with an active and standby Onboard Administrator. When the standby Onboard
Administrator takes over the role of the active Onboard Administrator, the Onboard
Administrator assumes the IP address of the previous active Onboard Administrator. This
ensures the Enclosure IP Mode IP address is consistently pointing to the active Onboard
Administrator.
The Enclosure IP Mode requires the active Onboard Administrator to have a static IP address.
Before enabling Enclosure IP Mode, you must configure a static IP address for the Active
Onboard Administrator. The standby Onboard Administrator can be configured for DHCP or
static IP settings. This mode is optional and is disabled by default.
The transition times from standby to active and active to standby varies, depending on the
configuration, enclosure population, and various other factors. The transition of standby to
active is normally 30 seconds. The transition of the previous active to standby is normally 90
seconds.
IMPORTANT: Replace the standby Onboard Administrator only while the enclosure is
powered on to be sure that the Enclosure IP Mode settings are not changed.
• DHCP: Gets the IP address for the Onboard Administrator from a DHCP server

Click the Apply button to save the settings.
Enclosure Bay IP Addressing screen
There is an important difference between the network the Superdome 2 complex is connected to
and the management network that the Onboard Administrator uses. Enclosure Bay IP Addressing
is used to assign IP addresses to the iLO 3 processors that are bridged through the Onboard
Administrator and must not be confused with port mapping for the server blade NICs or for network
routers or switches. EBPIA does not assign IP addresses for any other device on the network, and
cannot be used as a DHCP server on the network.
The server blade iLO 3 ports and interconnect module management ports can get IP addresses on
the management network in the following ways:
• DHCP address
• Static IP address
• EBIPA
• DHCP addresses: The server blade iLO 3 defaults to DHCP addressing, got through the network
connector of the active Onboard Administrator. Interconnect modules that have an internal
management network connection to the Onboard Administrator may also default to the DHCP
address.
The Onboard Administrator GUI lists the IP address for the server blade iLO 3 port and
interconnect module management port.
• Static IP:
Manual: If your facility prefers static IP address assignment, you can change each of the
server blade iLO 3 ports and interconnect module management ports individually to
◦
unique static addresses or use EBIPA to assign a range of static IP addresses to individual
server blade and interconnect module bays.
◦ EBIPA: When a server blade or interconnect module is inserted into a bay that has EBIPA
enabled, that management port will get the specific static IP address from the Onboard
Administrator if that device is configured for DHCP.
The administrator sets an independent range for server blade bays and interconnect module bays
using the Onboard Administrator EBIPA setup wizard. The first address in a range is assigned to
the first bay and then consecutive bays through the range.
To set up your enclosure without an active network connection using EBIPA:
1. Configure a static IP for each Onboard Administrator using the Insight Display, and note the
active OA Service IP address on the Insight Display Enclosure Info screen. Attach the client
PC to the enclosure Service Port (Enclosure Link Up connector) between the OA bays with a
standard Ethernet patch cable. The client PC NIC must be configured for DHCP because it
gets an IP address in the range of 169.254.x.y approximately 1 minute later.
2. Launch a web browser (or alternatively a Telnet or Secure Shell session), and select the
Onboard Administrator Service IP address as displayed in the enclosure Insight Display on
the Enclosure Info screen.
3. Log into the Onboard Administrator as Administrator, and use the administrative password
attached to the active Onboard Administrator.
82 Configuring HP Integrity Superdome 2 compute enclosures and enclosure devices
Page 83
4. While the First Time Setup Wizard is running (alternately, after first time setup you can change
the EBIPA settings in the Enclosure Settings list), enable Device Bay EBIPA with a starting static
IP address and enable Interconnect Bay EBIPA with a different starting IP address. The Onboard
Administrator then creates 16 sequential IP addresses for the device bays and 8 sequential
IP addresses for the interconnect bays. Servers in the device bays will automatically get the
Device Bay EBIPA addresses within a minute, but the interconnect switch modules must to be
manually restarted by clicking the Virtual Power button on each Onboard Administrator
Interconnect Module Information screen.
5. Use the Onboard Administrator Device list to be sure that the server blade iLO addresses have
been set according to the EBIPA starting IP address and range.
When a server blade or interconnect module is inserted into a device bay that has EBIPA enabled,
the management port gets the specific static IP address from the Onboard Administrator if the
device is configured for DHCP. If the device is configured for static IP, it must be manually
reconfigured to DHCP to change to the EBIPA IP address.
The administrator sets an independent range for device bays and interconnect module bays using
the Onboard Administrator EBIPA setup wizard. The first address in a range is assigned to the first
bay and then consecutive bays through the range.
For example, if you set the server bay EBIPA range starting from 16.100.226.21 to 16.100.226.36,
the iLO 3 in Server bay #1 will be assigned 16.100.226.21 and the iLO 3 in Server bay #12 is
assigned 16.100.226.32, and the interconnect bay EBIPA range to 16.200.139.51 to
16.200.139.58. If you set the interconnect module port, the interconnect bay #1 is set to
16.200.139.51 and the interconnect module management port in Interconnect bay #7 is set to
16.200.139.57.
Knowing your network configuration before setting up EBIPA ensures an easy setup and enables
you to install your HP Superdome 2 Onboard Administrator on to your network quickly. Record

Click the Apply button to generate a self-signed certificate or a standardized certificate-signing
request.
Standardized certificate-signing request
This screen displays a standardized certificate signing request generated by the Onboard
Administrator. The content of the request in the text box may can be sent to a certificate authority
of your choice for signing. Once signed and returned from the certificate authority, the certificate
can be uploaded under the "Certificate Upload" tab.
If a static IP address is configured for Onboard Administrator when this certificate request is
generated, the certificate request will be issued to the static IP address. Otherwise, it is issued to
the dynamic DNS name of the Onboard Administrator. The certificate, by default, requests a valid
duration of 10 years (this value is now not configurable).
Onboard Administrator Module 95
Page 96
When submitting the request to the certificate authority, be sure to:
• Use the Onboard Administrator URL for the server.
• Request the certificate be generated in the RAW format.
• Include the Begin and End certificate lines.
Active Onboard Administrator Certificate Upload tab
Upload certificates for use in a Superdome 2 Onboard Administrator in the following ways:
• Paste certificate contents into the text box and click the Upload button.
• Paste the URL of the certificate into the URL box and click the Apply button.
The certificate to be uploaded must be from a certificate request sent out and signed by a certificate
authority for this particular Onboard Administrator. Otherwise, the certificate fails to match the
private keys used to generate the certificate request, and the certificate is rejected. Also, if the
Onboard Administrator domain has been destroyed or reimported, you must repeat the steps for
generating a certificate request. It is re-signed by a certificate authority because the private keys
are destroyed and recreated along with the Onboard Administrator domain.
If the new certificate is successfully accepted and installed by the Onboard Administrator, you are
automatically signed out. The HTTP server must be restarted for the new certificate to take effect.
System log
The System Log subcategory can be found within the Active Onboard Administrator category. The
System Log displays logged information of events within the Onboard Administrator.
Events are logged from the top of the list to the bottom, with the most recent logged event appearing
at the top of the list. The system log can be scrolled using the scroll bar on the right of the log
screen (if the log is larger than the display box). The log has a maximum capacity of 18.42 KB
and automatically deletes the oldest logged event first (FIFO).
To clear the list of all logged events, click the Clear button on the lower-right of the screen under
the system log display.
Remote system logging is a feature that can be used to send Onboard Administrator syslog messages
to a remote server on the network for persistent storage. The syslog messages are sent from Onboard
Administrator using the UDP protocol on a port that can be specified by the user. The default remote
syslog port is 514.
Onboard Administrators Remote System Logging feature follows the guidelines in RFC3164 (http://
www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3164.txt).
In most Linux systems, remote system logging can be enabled by starting syslogd with the "-r"
option. The remote syslog port must also be opened in the firewall. Documentation for your particular
distribution must be consulted for additional information. Windows does not have native support
for remote system logging. Any application that listens on UDP port 514 or the specified syslog
port can receive remote system log messages from the OA.
After configuring, the Onboard Administrator remote system logging feature can be tested using
the GUI Test button on the configuration page, or using the CLI TEST SYSLOG command.

When a second HP Superdome 2 Onboard Administrator is placed in the enclosure, it becomes
the standby Onboard Administrator. The standby Onboard Administrator is normally placed in
the available Onboard Administrator tray at the rear of the enclosure. By selecting the Active to
Standby screen, you can force a transition within the Onboard Administrator user interface to make
the active Onboard Administrator become the standby Onboard Administrator.
For an Active or Standby relationship, the two Onboard Administrator modules must have the same
firmware version installed. If the firmware versions are not identical, the Insight Display and the
main status screen of the Onboard Administrator identifies this error and alerts the user through
SNMP if enabled.
If using two Onboard Administrators, each Onboard Administrator has a unique IP address. Refer
to the Insight Display to get the IP addresses for the Active and Standby Onboard Administrators
