HPE iLO is an Experimental vendor for ipmideck, these steps are from official HPE
documentation and a real iLO 4. On iLO 4 IPMI-over-LAN is typically enabled by
default; on iLO 5 it is disabled by default for security and must be turned on
(steps below).
iLO 5: enable IPMI/DCMI over LAN
Open the iLO web interface
In a browser, navigate to the iLO IP address and log in with iLO administrator
credentials.
Security → Access Settings → Network
In the left navigation pane click Security, open the Access Settings tab, then
click the pencil / edit icon for the Network section.
iLO 4: confirm the network address
On iLO 4, IPMI-over-LAN is generally enabled already; you mainly need the iLO’s IP address. Open Network → iLO Dedicated Network Port and read the Network Summary.
Verify
From the host that will run ipmideck:Flag for review: the path differs between iLO 4 (a Network tab; IPMI usually
enabled) and iLO 5 (Security → Access Settings; IPMI disabled by default). Verify
against your specific iLO version before relying on these steps.
