Pro ssh pristup je nutne pouzit parametry:

ssh -o ForwardAgent=no -o ForwardX11=no -o HostKeyAlgorithms=ssh-rsa,ssh-dss user@ip

Pro novejsi OpenSSH je treba pouzit nasledujici alias:

alias ilossh='ssh -o PasswordAuthentication=yes \
-o ChallengeResponseAuthentication=no \
-o GSSAPIAuthentication=no \
-o HostbasedAuthentication=no \
-o PubkeyAuthentication=no \
-o RSAAuthentication=no \
-o Compression=no \
-o ForwardAgent=no \
-o ForwardX11=no \
-o KexAlgorithms=diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 \
-o MACs=hmac-md5,hmac-sha1 \
-o Ciphers=aes128-cbc,3des-cbc \
-o HostKeyAlgorithms=ssh-rsa,ssh-dss'

Setup LO100

LO100 is poor man's iLo that can be found in HP DL1xx - it is derived from IBM BCM

following commands should work on all machines equipped either with LO100 or iLO 3 and higher (maybe other management consoles - e.g. Dell, IBM, Sun)

Install ipmitool

the ipmitool utility allows you to change iLo settings without rebooting the server

  1. install the package
    apt-get install ipmitool
  2. the service job usually fails to run so you have to load following kernel modules in order to use ipmitool
    modprobe ipmi_msghandler
    modprobe ipmi_devintf
    modprobe ipmi_si
  3. try to start the service again
    service ipmievd start

Setup users

  1. list users:
    ipmitool user list
  2. change password for desired user - in this case user no 3
    ipmitool user set password 3 my-password
    ipmitool user enable 3
  3. set this user as administrator
    ipmitool user priv 3 4

Setup network

  1. find out the lan channel
    for i in `seq 1 14`; do ipmitool lan print $i 2>/dev/null | grep -q ^Set && echo Channel $i; done

    let the output be

    Channel 2
  2. show network configuration
    ipmitool lan print 2
  3. setup static ip adress
    ipmitool lan set 2 ipsrc static
    ipmitool lan set 2 ipaddr 10.0.255.x
    ipmitool lan set 2 netmask 255.255.255.0
    ipmitool lan set 2 defgw ipaddr 10.0.255.1
  4. do a cold reset
    ipmitool mc reset cold

    if it doesn't take effect you can try connect to iLo via ssh and run

    reset map1
