Enable Extended Data on GUI Login Page—This checkbox is selected by default. Clearing this checkbox
disables the + functionality in the topology view on the sign in page for this enclosure. Also, the Onboard
Administrator health status appears as N/A on the sign in page.
Disabling the extended data on the GUI sign in page prevents unauthenticated users from viewing additional
information. To prevent additional information from appearing for each linked enclosure, you must clear this
checkbox for each enclosure.
Click Apply to save settings.
Using the FIPS mode ON enforces use of the Onboard Administrator in a FIPS 140-2-approved mode. This
FIPS mode includes the use of approved algorithms such as AES, 3DES, SHA and other security restrictions.
Setting this option to OFF enables the use of non-FIPS-140-2-approved algorithms such as ARC4. Using the
DEBUG option sets the Onboard Administrator to an environment similar to the FIPS mode ON, but with the
option of debug support from HP. The FIPS mode DEBUG has the functionalities of the FIPS mode ON, but it
is not considered FIPS-compliant because of the debug option.
The Onboard Administrator restarts after all changes are made.
All existing settings are lost when you run this operation. Any change to the FIPS mode setting performs a
Restore to Factory Default operation.
If the change is to the FIPS mode ON or FIPS mode DEBUG, strong passwords are enabled, minimum
password length is set to eight characters, and a new Administrator account password is requested.
Additionally, the Enclosure IP mode, SNMP and Telnet protocols are disabled.
To save the settings, click Apply.
Clear VC Mode
NOTE: Entering and exiting FIPS mode performs a factory restore operation and locks the Insight
Display (LCD). If the Onboard Administrator was previously configured with a static IP address, it
defaults to a DHCP address until reconfigured with a static IP address. Recovery requires access
to the Onboard Administrator serial console to perform the SHOW OA CONSOLE command to
discover the new Onboard Administrator IP address.
Clearing the VC mode removes all VC settings from the enclosure. Power off all VC-configured servers before
clearing the VC mode. If servers are not powered down, they might maintain the VC settings until they are
rebooted. You must clear the VC mode before changing to the FIPS mode ON/DEBUG.
