Overview

Integrated Lights-Out Select provides cost-effective Lights-Out management upgrades for ProLiant servers that are managed using the remote consoles available in iLO 2 Standard and iLO 2 Standard Blade Edition. iLO Select compliments standard iLO 2 features by activating additional features you need to enable full remote control of your ProLiant servers in routine and emergency situations. iLO Select includes remote console collaboration and replay of BIOS and POST (pre-OS) screens, enterprise security, virtual media and virtual folders, and power management functionality.

iLO Select upgrades for iLO 2 management processors are available by purchasing the HP ProLiant Essentials Integrated Lights-Out Select Pack. The iLO Select Pack provides a license key that activates full remote control, security and power management capabilities for new ProLiant servers with iLO 2 management processors.

What's new

In HP Integrated Lights-Out 2 firmware version 1.30 , iLO Select license keys activate the following new remote control capabilities:

Performance
  • Integrated Remote Console now supports remote console collaboration by up to four users and enhanced system diagnostics using automatic console replay of last fault and boot sequences.
  • Unique Virtual Folders and bootable Virtual DVD features allow users more choices for remote deployment and update of software and firmware.
  • Power capping settings allow you to control system thermal output in your data center from iLO 2 browser, CLI, script or HP Insight Power Manager.
Security
  • After logging into HP Systems Insight Manager, automatically login to any connected iLO 2 management processor using HP SIM role based authentication.
  • Enhanced user audit support with increased logging option for failed login attempts and new logging of client machine names
  • Authenticate direct members as well as members of nested groups within Active Directory
Options
  • Supported now on all new iLO 2 based HP ProLiant servers. Visit the Lights-Out Supported Servers web page for more information
  • New iLO Select Licenses now available with one-time activation key and future optional, upgrade keys.
  • New Insight Control Environment Suites or iLO Power Management Packs are now available including ProLiant management capabilities such as iLO Select bundled with 24x7 technical support and software update services for ProLiant BL servers

Ideal environment

Ideal for...

HP BladeSystem environments with the following IT conditions
  • Remote console user collaboration and console video replay is needed to augment standard remote console capabilities for server blade troubleshooting and administration
  • Enterprise LDAP based directory services are required to provide effective and efficient centralized access security for remote control tools
  • Strong Smart Card authentication technology is required to reduce the risk of compromised data security on iLO 2 based blade servers
  • Command line or scalable scripted virtual media is required to update firmware and software on server blades over a network
  • Server blade power consumption analysis and control is needed to manage infrastructure and data center power and cooling conditions
ProLiant ML and DL Server environments running Linux operating systems and requiring the following
  • A cost-effective remote control solution that enhances standard iLO 2 features with virtual media, LDAP based security, power management and remote console collaboration and replay
  • Remote console user collaboration and console video replay is needed to augment standard remote console capabilities for server blade troubleshooting and administration
  • Enterprise LDAP based directory services are required to provide effective and efficient centralized access security for remote control tools
  • Strong Smart Card authentication technology is required to reduce the risk of compromised data security on iLO 2 based blade servers
  • Command line or scalable scripted virtual media is required to update firmware and software on server blades over a network
  • Server blade power consumption analysis and control is needed to manage infrastructure and data center power and cooling conditions
  • Mount virtual media and client folders for remote software and firmware updates
  • Novel eDirectory integration is required to provide effective and efficient centralized access security for remote control tools
  • Strong authentication using Smart Card technology is required to reduce the risk of compromised IT security on iLO 2 based blade servers
  • Improved scalability and performance are desirable using scripted Virtual Media to install new software and firmware on iLO 2 based blade servers, and/or where a secure, industry standard command line interface is also required for Virtual Media
