HPE ProLiant DL20 Gen10 Plus installation
This section describes how to install Defender for IoT software on the HPE ProLiant DL20 Gen10 Plus appliance.
Installation includes:
- Enabling remote access and updating the default administrator password
- Configuring iLO port on network port 1
- Configuring BIOS and RAID10 settings
- Installing Defender for IoT software
Note
Installation procedures are only relevant if you need to re-install software on a pre-configured device, or if you buy your own hardware and configure the appliance yourself.
Enable remote access and update the password
Use the following procedure to set up network options and update the default password.
To enable, and update the password:
Connect a screen and a keyboard to the HPE appliance, turn on the appliance, and press F9.
Go to System Utilities > System Configuration > iLO 5 Configuration Utility > Network Options.
Select Shared Network Port-LOM from the Network Interface Adapter field.
Set Enable DHCP to Off.
Enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP address.
Select F10: Save.
Select Esc to get back to the iLO 5 Configuration Utility, and then select User Management.
Select Edit/Remove User. The administrator is the only default user defined.
Change the default password and select F10: Save.
Set up the BIOS and RAID array
This procedure describes how to configure the BIOS configuration for an unconfigured sensor appliance. If any of the steps below are missing in the BIOS make sure that the hardware matches the specifications above.
HPE BIOS iLO is a system management software designed to give administrators control of HPE hardware remotely. It allows administrators to monitor system performance, configure settings, and troubleshoot hardware issues from a web browser. It can also be used to update system BIOS and firmware. The BIOS can be set up locally or remotely. To set up the BIOS remotely from a management computer, you need to define the HPE IP address and the management computer's IP address on the same subnet.
To configure the HPE BIOS:
Select System Utilities > System Configuration > BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU).
In the BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) form, select Boot Options.
Change Boot Mode to UEFI BIOS Mode, and then select F10: Save.
Select Esc twice to close the System Configuration form.
Select Embedded RAID 1: HPE Smart Array E208i-a SR Gen 10 > Array Configuration > Create Array.
In the Create Array form, select all four disk options, and on the next page select RAID10.
Note
For Data-at-Rest encryption, see HPE guidance for activating RAID SR Secure Encryption or using Self-Encrypting-Drives (SED).
Install iLO remotely from a virtual drive
This procedure describes how to install iLO software remotely from a virtual drive.
Before installing the iLO software, we recommend changing the iLO idle connection timeout setting to infinite, as the installation might take longer than the 30 minutes it is set to by default, depending on your network connection and if the sensor is in a remote location.
To change the iLO idle connection timeout settings:
Sign in to the iLO console, and go to Overview on the top menu.
On the left, select Security, and then select Access settings from the top menu.
Select the pencil icon next to iLO and then select Show advanced settings.
On the Idle connection timeout row, select the triangle icon to open the timeout options, and then select Infinite.
Continue the iLO installation with the following steps.
To install sensor software with iLO:
When signed into the iLO console, select the servers' screen on the bottom left.
Select HTML5 Console.
In the console, select the Virtual media CD icon on the right, and choose the CD/DVD option.
Select Local ISO file.
In the dialog box, choose the Defender for IoT sensor installation ISO file.
Go to the left menu icon, select Power, and then select Reset.
The appliance will restart, and run the sensor installation process.
Install Defender for IoT software on the HPE ProLiant DL20 Gen10 Plus
This procedure describes how to install Defender for IoT software on the HPE ProLiant DL20 Gen10 Plus.
The installation process takes about 20 minutes. After the installation, the system is restarted several times.
To install Defender for IoT software:
Connect the screen and keyboard to the appliance, and then connect to the CLI.
Connect an external CD or disk-on-key that contains the software you downloaded from the Azure portal.
Start the appliance.
Continue with the generic procedure for installing Defender for IoT software. For more information, see Defender for IoT software installation.
Next steps
Continue understanding system requirements for physical or virtual appliances. For more information, see Which appliances do I need?.
Then, use any of the following procedures to continue:
