Default Passwords for Remote Management Boards for Physical Servers

All the Server Administrators have to deal with physical servers of different manufacturers and models. The market leaders are HP, Dell, IBM and Cisco Products who have a large range of physical Rack and Blade Servers. Every now and then, the Servers are out of reach making it difficult to troubleshoot connectivity issue remotely, so we have Remote Management Board connected to these servers to alternately connect to these physical boxes when they are not on network or probably down.

Now each of these vendors have different names for the Remote Management Board. HP calls it Integrated Lights Out [ILO], Dell calls it Dell Remote Access Card [DRAC], IBM calls it Integrated Management Module [IMM] and Cisco calls it [Cisco Integrated Management Controller]. They all serve the same purpose.

I am writing this post to provide the default passwords for these Remote Management Boards. When these RMBs are initially configured, we need these credentials to access the Boards.
Please find below credentials

Make	RMB	Username	Password	Remarks
HP	ILO	Administrator	Printed on the Tag	8 Character password printed on the tag of Hardware
