Directory Services Installation Prerequisites
Before installing directory services, you must do the following:
• Obtain an iLO 2 Advanced Pack license.
• Configure LDAP.
TIP: Before performing certain iLO 2 functions, verify that you have the supported firmware
version required to carry out the task. To make sure you have the latest supported firmware
version, see the HP website at http://www.hp.com/go/bizsupport.
Installing Directory Services
To successfully enable directory-enabled management on any iLO 2, complete the following
steps:
1. Plan
Review the following sections:
• “Directory Services” (page 179)
• “Directory Services Schema (LDAP)” (page 211)
• “Directory-Enabled Remote Management” (page 205)
2. Install
a. Download the HP Lights-Out Directory Package containing the schema installer, the
management snap-in installer, and the migrations utilities from the HP website (http://
www.hp.com/servers/lights-out).
b. Run the schema installer once to extend the schema. See“Schema Installer” (page 182).
c. Run the management snap-in installer and install the appropriate snap-in for your
directory service on one or more management workstations. See“Management Snap-In
Installer” (page 184).
3. Update
a. With the directory-enabled firmware, flash the ROM on iLO 2.
b. From the Directory Settings in the iLO 2 user interface, set directory server settings and
the distinguished name of the iLO 2 objects.
4. Manage
a. Create a management device object and a role object using the snap-in. See“Directory
Services Objects” (page 189).
b. Assign rights to the role object, as necessary, and associate the role with the management
device object.
c. Add users to the role object.
For more information about managing directory service, see “Directory-Enabled Remote
Management” (page 205). Examples are available in: “Directory Services for Active Directory”
(page 184) and “Directory Services for eDirectory” (page 194).
Schema Documentation
To assist with the planning and approval process, HP documents the changes made to the schema
during the schema setup process. To review the changes made to your existing schema, see
“Directory Services Schema (LDAP)” (page 211).
