For example, I want to create a new iLO user with all privileges on a old HP Blade server (name: my-old-box/ bay: 8). But I don’t know have the access to the box itself. The workaround is to do it via the enclosure (HPENC01) if you have the access.
ssh HPENC01
HPENC01> connect server 8
Connecting to bay 8 …
