Set the iLO password from Linux using hponcfg Posted on by Gerhard No matter if you are looking for a way to manage the iLO settings from the Linux command line or just have lost or forgotten the iLO password, as long as you have access to the Linux system running on ….The workaround is to do it via the enclosure (HPENC01) if you have the access.

But I don’t know have the access to the box itself. For example, I want to create a new iLO user with all privileges on a old HP Blade server (name: my-old-box/ bay: 8).With iLO (and Insight tools) you can monitor all hardware information (temperatures, fans, power consumption.) and, for me most important, turn on/off or reboot unresponsive machine. If all you need is keyboard-mouse-video, then KVM switch could be better. HP iLO is much more then just KVM console.
