This document outlines how to set up and use HP Integrated Lights-Out Management (iLO) version 3 on ArcSight appliances. Although supported by ArcSight, they do not offer additional support for this feature beyond the steps provided; it must be managed through the hardware vendor's interface. The setup is only applicable to specific ArcSight models: L7400-SAN, N5400, C5400, C3400 L7400, M7400, E7400, E7400, and L3400. iLO 3 allows remote management of the appliance regardless of its power state or physical location, accessible via a web interface with a graphical user interface (GUI). The setup includes setting up an IP address for LAN access: either DHCP if preferred or static addressing as demonstrated in the document. Security is managed through a username and password combination. For detailed information on HP iLO 3 functionality and configuration steps, refer to ArcSight's official support manual at this link: http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c02111169/c02111169.pdf The text provides a guide on how to configure HP Integrated Lights Out (iLO) 3 for an ArcSight appliance. Initially, the device comes with a preconfigured Administrator account and a randomly generated password. Arcsight recommends creating additional user accounts with admin privileges. To access iLO 3 settings, use the default username "Administrator" and the random password found on the network information tag (iLO Network Information Tag). Once configured, iLO 3 offers several functionalities: 1. Power Management: Enables control over the power state of the appliance, allowing users to turn it on, off, or reboot. 2. Remote Console: Allows remote access to the system console for tasks that normally require physical attachments like a keyboard, monitor, and mouse. It is advised to configure iLO 3 at the time of the initial deployment of the ArcSight appliance if one intends to use it for troubleshooting and debugging purposes. For setting up HP iLO 3: 1. Reboot the appliance following product documentation instructions. 2. Monitor the POST (Power On Self Test) on the monitor closely. 3. Once prompted to press F8, access the Integrated Lights Out menu. 4. In this menu, disable DHCP by navigating to Set network > DNS/DHCP and setting DHCP Enable to OFF using the space bar. Save the settings with

. 5. For more advanced configuration options like configuring device names, refer to additional detailed instructions or consult ArcSight support. This document provides instructions for configuring and accessing an HP iLO 3 web interface to remotely manage a device. The steps include setting up network options, creating an admin user, and using the remote console for system management. Here's a summary of the process: 1. **Configure Network Settings**: Access the network configuration menu by pressing

. Select "Network NIC and TCP/IP" from the menu to enter IP address, subnet mask, and gateway details. Press

to save these settings. 2. **Add Administrative User (Optional)**: Although an admin user is preconfigured in iLO 3, you can add a user named "admin".

. 4. **Accessing the iLO 3 Web GUI**: Use a web browser to enter the IP address assigned for iLO 3. Confirm SSL security settings and log in using the assigned username and password or default admin credentials. 5. **Using Remote Console**: The remote console offers two options:

• **Integrated Remote Console**: Access system KVM via Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox (requires .NET Framework 3.5).

• **Java Integrated Remote Console**: Utilize a Java applet-based console that requires a JVM. In this example, select the Java option to start the KVM session in a Java applet.

This guide helps users set up and configure HP iLO 3 for remote management of networked devices, providing access to system KVM sessions through web browsers or dedicated consoles.
