Hi Philip,
Thanks for the info IPMI. What I was searching for is how to prepare hardware
for enrollment, which is lacking in the wiki I mentioned.
NEC BMC module actually has its own management Ethernet port and most settings
can only be managed via the management boot CD. There is a webbased GUI but its
mostly for monitoring and remote console only.
There are no options to set a IPMI username and password.
Perhaps my hardware is too old for this type of usage.
Thanks for you help,
Jake

iLO is just one of many vendor solutions that implements IPMI, an industry
standard which NEC server BMCs also support. See
http://support.express.nec.co.jp/wpaper/rwu/rwu.pdf for more info on that
particular server line. 110Rh-1 supports IPMI 2.0.
On many systems there is simply a prompt during POST to configure the BMC,
which often shares the primary NIC on lower end servers. You can use ipmitool
to test connectivity, authentication and chassis power commands independent of
OpenStack. See http://ipmitool.sourceforge.net/manpage.html for more.
Note the OpenStack wiki you linked references the IP and credentials for the
IPMI interface, which is completely independent of any OS. I also recommend
looking through
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent_Platform_Management_Interface for more
on the standard.
