Integrated Lights-Out Standard/Integrated Lights-Out Standard Blade Edition Features on iLO 2 Management Processors
Remote Serial Console	Access to the host server's serial, text-based console during all server states over an Ethernet network is a standard feature on all Integrated Lights-Out 2 management processors. From the operating system-independent console you can monitor and control BIOS and POST screens during startup, as well as Microsoft Emergency Management Services on systems running Windows Server 2003 and serial tty sessions on systems running Linux operating systems.

Virtual KVM remote text console

Embedded hardware remote console capabilities in a text mode screen prior to loading of the operating system; is provided as a standard feature on all Integrated Lights-Out 2 management processors. This provides access to system BIOS and POST during system start-up using Virtual KVM technology. Remote text in "pre-OS" mode is accessible from the Integrated Remote Console and the Java applet Remote Console. The Java applet supports both Microsoft and Sun Java software.

Integrated Remote Console

iLO 2 introduces the new Java-free Integrated Remote Console for environments with Microsoft Windows host and client operating systems. With iLO 2 Standard and iLO 2 Standard Blade Edition, Integrated Remote Console provides access to Virtual KVM in pre-OS text mode and Virtual power from a single screen. iLO 2 Standard Blade Edition also allows virtual media to be controlled from the IRC. The IRC runs on an ActiveX Control that is a one-time, automatic download to clients running Windows Internet Explorer allowing users to operate without installing any Java clients.

Virtual Power Button

Using a supported browser, command line or script interface, Integrated Lights-Out 2 can be used to remotely operate the power button of a host. For example, if the host server is off, you can turn it on from the Integrated Lights-Out 2 browser, command line (SM CLP), XML scripting or WS Management interfaces. You can also power off and on the server in one step. A "press and hold" option is available for the Virtual Power Button in the event a momentary press is insufficient to power off a server experiencing an operating system failure.

Virtual Indicators	Integrated Lights-Out 2 provides the ability to control server Unit ID LEDs from the Integrated Lights-Out 2 browser, command line (SM CLP), XML scripting or WS Management interfaces. The server Unit ID LED is the blue LED on the ProLiant server that is used for identifying systems in a rack full of servers.

Power Regulator for ProLiant

Power Regulator for ProLiant can be enabled on supported server models from iLO 2 Standard browser, CLP and script interfaces. Power Regulator Static Low Power and Dynamic Power Savings Modes as well as Operating System based modes (AMD PowerNow or Intel Demand Based Switching) can be enabled to save on server power and cooling costs. On supported ProLiant servers, Power Regulator allows CPU's to operate at lower frequency and voltage during periods of reduced application activity.
NOTE: For additional information about Power Regulator visit: http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/ilo/power-regulator.html

Power Consumption Reporting (Firmware v1.11 or greater)	On supported server models, the iLO 2 management processor displays the present power consumption in Watts. The present power is a five minute average that is calculated and displayed via all iLO 2 interfaces (browser, CLI, script).

Embedded System Health (Firmware v1.11 or greater)

On supported server models, the iLO 2 management processor monitors fans, temperature sensors, power supply sensors and Vrms without having the System Management Driver loaded. The status of these is accessible from all iLO 2 interfaces (browser, SMASH CLP command line and script) independent of the host operating system. The management processor also reports sensor status to the operating system through an IPMI 2.0 specified interface.

Flexible Interfaces

Using any of the iLO 2 interfaces, customers can configure, update and control all iLO 2 Standard functions regardless of the state of the host server or operating system

Browser – Integrated Lights-Out 2 is fully accessible by means of Microsoft® Internet Explorer, and Mozilla Firefox (Linux and Windows only).
Command line – iLO 2 supports the new industry standard command line, DMTF System Management Architecture for Server Hardware, Server Management Command Line Protocol (SM CLP) specification. These commands can be used on other SM CLP compliant HP products, such as the first generation iLO, Lights-Out 100 Management Processors, HP Integrity iLO, and other non-HP products.
Scripting – iLO 2 supports a scalable scripting interface using either programmable XML or PERL scripting. This enables scalable, simultaneous configuration, update and operation large groups of iLO 2 as well as iLO and RILOE II management processors.
WS Management – iLO 2 supports the new DMTF WS Management standard interface allowing users to control virtual power and virtual UID from HP Systems Insight Manager and other management clients that conforms to the standard. This includes WINRM, WECUTIL and Wiseman. Requires iLO 2 firmware version 1.30 or greater.

Auxiliary Power	Because the Integrated Lights-Out 2 management processor obtains its power from the auxiliary power plane of the server, it is always on when the server is plugged into a power source. If the server provides Redundant Power Supplies (RPS) then Integrated Lights-Out 2 will use redundant power and will continue operation in the event of a power supply failure.

Auto-Configuration of IP Address using DNS/DHCP

Integrated Lights-Out 2 provides automatic network configuration. A default name and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client that leases an IP address from the DHCP server on the network are standard with iLO 2. This allows iLO 2 to register the device name with Domain Name Services (DNS) and Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS). For systems that do not use DNS/DHCP, iLO 2 supports static IP configuration.

Flexible Setup Options

An onboard ROM-based configuration utility allows fast and easy setup without additional software. iLO 2 can also be setup via the browser or command line interface over the network. Integration with SmartStart Scripting Toolkit allows configuration of the card as part of the initial server deployment. For large deployments, the HP Lights-Out Configuration Utility can be used to configure groups of ILO 2 processors, saving time and resources.

Local User Accounts And Logon Records	Integrated Lights-Out 2 Standard supports up to 12 local user accounts with customizable access rights, individual logins and passwords. iLO 2 also provides logging of user actions in the event log, progressive delays for failed login attempts, and login legal warning.

Security

Integrated Lights-Out 2 provides strong security for remote management in distributed IT environments by using industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption of HTTP data transmitted across the network. SSL encryption (128-bit) ensures that the HTTP information is secure as it travels across the network.
Integrated Lights-Out 2 also uses Secure Shell version 2 to provide strong authentication and encryption of commands executed on iLO management processors over a network. PuTTY and OpenSSH clients may be used to access iLO 2 over a Secure Shell connection.
In addition, iLO 2 provides a configurable option to enable strong encryption Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES) on browser, CLP and XML scripting interfaces. AES/3DES is the US government encryption standard to protect sensitive information. (Requires firmware version 1.30 or greater)

Automated Group Administration & Actions

Integrated Lights-Out 2 group administration automates configuring and managing large deployments of Integrated Lights-Out 2 processors. Using iLO2's extensive scripting language with HP Lights-Out Configuration Utility or the HP Lights-Out Online Configuration Utility, an administrator can easily configure all settings, control all functions and activate the ProLiant Essentials iLO Advanced Pack license keys simultaneously on multiple iLO 2 processors. With a batch process or HP System Insight Manager's powerful device query mechanism, these utilities enable scalable use and management of iLO 2.

Remote Firmware Update	This feature ensures that Integrated Lights-Out 2 is always up-to-date with the latest firmware available from HP. Updates to the ROM code on iLO 2 are accomplished through the browser interface, command line, XML script, or using online flash components for Windows and Linux.

Integration with HP Systems Insight Manager and other management applications

Integrated Lights-Out 2 is integrated with HP and other leading management applications to allow seamless use in lifecycle tasks and processes from deployment to fault management and administration. HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM) intelligently discovers iLO 2 devices and associates them with their host servers for fast access to iLO 2 during fault management activities. HP ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack (RDP) also discovers iLO 2 for fast access to iLO 2 remote consoles during server deployment. iLO 2 controls such as virtual power and virtual media are also integrated into RDP scripts to automate server deployment. Intelligent discovery and launch of iLO 2 browser is also supported in HP Openview Operations for Windows and Network Node Manager, Microsoft Operations Manager and CA Unicenter.

Flexible Network Connectivity

Integrated Lights-Out 2 provides a choice between two network connection methods to access all functionality

Dedicated connection - Access iLO 2 via an embedded 10/100 MB Ethernet NIC dedicated to iLO 2. This enables remote management over a dedicated, out-of-band management network. In-band SNMP notification of server problems on a real-time basis is also supported without separate telephone connections or modem sharing devices. The dedicated NIC can auto-select speeds between 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps.
Shared Network Port - On selected ProLiant server models, iLO 2 supports network connectivity through a new high-speed shared connection via one of the embedded system NICs. Shared network port provides full accessibility to all iLO 2 functions including browser, Virtual Media and Virtual KVM in graphic mode. iLO 2 maintains a unique IP address and MAC allowing the network controller to route iLO 2 and host data correctly. With the new Shared Network Port, out-of-band management and production data can share the same wire eliminating the separate network connection for each server.

Virtual Private Network (VPN) support	Integrated Lights-Out 2 functionality is available securely over the Internet around the world when used in conjunction with VPN technology. VPN is supported on both iLO 2 network connection methods, dedicated and shared network ports.

Alert Administration	Integrated Lights-Out 2 supports delivery of SNMP server agent and Integrated Lights-Out 2 generated alerts unsuccessful login attempts, to a management console such as HP Systems Insight Manager. Traps forwarded by the processor can be configured in Insight Manager for delivery to an administrator's pager or e-mail.

Integrated Management Log	Integrated Lights-Out 2 captures and stores the server's Integrated Management Log for access via browser or command line even when the server is not operational. This capability can be helpful when troubleshooting remote host server problems.

Integrated Lights-Out 2 Event Log

The iLO 2 Event Log stores detailed iLO 2 events independent of operating system. User actions like server power on/off, reset, changes in user configuration, clear event log, successful and unsuccessful login attempts are logged along with the user's access machine name in the Event Log enabling audits for security or troubleshooting purposes. The Event Log is easily accessible through the browser, command line, script or Insight Manager

Advanced Server Management (ASM)	The Integrated Lights-Out 2 management ASIC includes all of the Health and Wellness features of the Advanced Server Management controller. The Health drivers interface with the iLO 2 ASIC to provide system management support, including monitoring of server components, event logging, and support for the Management Agents.

System Diagnostics	Integrated Lights-Out 2 may be used to diagnose systems. The Remote Console, Integrated Remote Console and Remote Serial Console may be used to monitor the system for POST error messages. The Integrated Management Log and iLO 2 Event Log record events useful for diagnostics. iLO 2 Virtual Media (if activated by an iLO 2 Advanced key) may be used to boot and run System Diagnostics.

Microsoft Emergency Management Service Console Integration	The Microsoft Emergency Management Service console provides a text-based screen to access the host server. Integrated Lights-Out 2 provides the option to access the EMS console from the Integrated Lights-Out 2 browser interface. The Emergency Management Service console option is available on all HP ProLiant servers using Windows Server 2003.

Dial-up support	Integrated Lights-Out 2 supports dial-up access when using a modem router or external Remote Access Service (RAS) connection to log on to the network.

Integrated Lights-Out 2 Standard Blade Edition Features

iLO 2 Standard Blade Edition is enhanced to include several features that are essential for blade operation. The following additional iLO 2 features are supported as standard features on ProLiant BL c-Class and iLO 2 supported p-Class blade servers:

Virtual KVM remote graphic console
Terminal Services Pass-Through
Virtual Media (browser access only to floppy disk, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM and USB-Drive based virtual media)

Although they are standard on certain server blades, these features are described in the licensed feature section below. In addition, the blade specific features are standard on ProLiant BL c-Class and iLO 2 supported p-Class blade servers.

Static IP Bay Configuration	The Static IP Bay Configuration feature simplifies deployment by automatically assigning IP addresses to individual blades from a reserved static pool as they power on even if DHCP is present.

Diagnostic Port & POST LED Indicator

For convenient walk-up access or in the event that some portion of the network is down and the administrator cannot reach the Integrated lights-Out through the network, the p-class blade is equipped with an "iLO Diagnostic Port" that guarantees access to Integrated Lights-Out. The Integrated Lights-Out has been designed to provide feedback during the POST process as a blade system does not include a directly attached monitor. The Integrated Lights-Out blinks the Server Health LED during the boot process to enable the onsite administrator the results of the POST process.

Power Allocation & Release

One of the primary responsibilities of Integrated Lights-Out in the server blade architecture is to assist in managing the power resources. In order for a server blade to power on, the necessary power must be available from the infrastructure. Integrated Lights-Out ensures that there is enough power available by acting as an intelligent conduit to the server blade infrastructure and its Power Management Module.

HP BladeSystem p-Class Infrastructure Communication

iLO 2 enables easy configuration and management of the entire infrastructure of the p-class system. The iLO 2 browser includes a separate tab in the web interface that appears on ProLiant BL p-class systems from which specific information and configuration abilities are available. The iLO 2 web interface provides user-level diagnostics of the rack infrastructure. This includes information on temperatures, fans, Unit ID LED, the presence of power supplies, firmware revisions and serial numbers of the blade and enclosure management modules. Integrated Lights-Out provides the communication mechanism to propagate alerts throughout the infrastructure. It can also forward SNMP alerts to HP Systems Insight Manager or other SNMP-based management consoles. These iLO SNMP alerts include server events, such as a host server reset, thermal and power alerts generated by the Enclosure Manager and Power Supply Manager and iLO events such as unauthorized login attempt.

Rack View	iLO 2 browser displays an enclosure and rack view of discovered p-Class blades. The rack and enclosure can also be named and configured from the iLO user interface.

Blade Setup Wizard

An HP BladeSystem setup wizard is embedded in the iLO 2 browser. This provides a simple four step process to setup iLO 2, verify the server RAID setting, connect to virtual media with a SmartStart or OS install CD/DVD image and reboot the server while opening remote console to observe the deployment. This dramatically simplifies initial server setup using a client connected to the blade via an enclosure I/O cable or over the network.

Single Sign-on

When using local user accounts on iLO 2 and Onboard Administrator, single-sign on is supported. This allows users to access automatically login to iLO 2 from the OA user interface.

Terminal Services Integration (iLO 2 Advanced Only)

Integrated Lights Out integrates with Microsoft Terminal Services to provide a high performance graphical remote console by automatically or manually switching to Microsoft Terminal Services when the operating system is fully loaded and available on the host system. When the operating system is not operational, iLO continues to provide its secure, hardware-based Lights-Out console for end-to-end remote access to the host server. In addition, the Microsoft Terminal Services session is routed through the iLO network interface to improve production network security.

Virtual Media

The USB-based Virtual Media feature allows an IT administrator to boot the remote server using a standard 1.44-MB diskette, CD ROM, DVD+R or USB flash drive on a client PC or from a floppy diskette, CD or DVD image stored on a virtual media server on the network. After the remote server has booted a USB-capable operating system (e.g., Windows® 2000, Windows 2003, or Red Hat Linux 7.2), the virtual device or ISO 9660 image is available as if it were a local USB device. Virtual Media saves time and increases efficiency by eliminating the need to visit servers in datacenters and remote sites just to insert a diskette, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM or USB key. iLO 2 firmware version 1.22 or greater is required to support up to 4.7GB DVD-ROMs.

Directory Services Integration

Integrated Lights-Out 2 integrates with enterprise-class directory services to provide secure, scalable, and cost effective user management. Directory services, such as Microsoft Active Directory and Novell eDirectory, can be used to authorize directory users with assigned user roles to Integrated Lights-Out processors. With Active Directory, customers have the flexibility to integrate with or without a schema extension. (Firmware version 1.10 or greater required for schema-free integration) An easy and reliable installation program is available to install a management console snap-in and extend customer's existing directory schema to enable directory support for the HP lights-out management products.
