Server management through IPMI version 2.0 compliant applications
Server management through the IPMI is a standardized method for controlling and monitoring the server. iLO 2 provides server management based on the IPMI version 2.0 specification. The IPMI specification defines a standardized interface for platform management. The IPMI specification defines the following types of platform management:
Monitoring of system information, such as fans, temperatures, and power supplies Recovery capabilities, such as system resets and power on/off operations Logging capabilities, for abnormal events such as over temperature readings or fan failures Inventory capabilities, such as identifying failed hardware components
IPMI communications are dependent on the BMC and the SMS. The BMC manages the interface between the SMS and the platform management hardware. iLO 2 emulates the BMC functionality and the SMS functionality can be provided by various industry-standard tools. For additional information, see the IPMI specification on the Intel website (http://www.intel.com/design/servers/ipmi/tools.htm).

Operational overview 11

iLO 2 provides the KCS interface, or open interface, for SMS communications. The KCS interface provides a set of I/O mapped communications registers. The default system base address for the I/O mapped SMS Interface is 0xCA2 and is byte aligned at this system address. The KCS interface is accessible to SMS software that is running on the local system. Examples of compatible SMS software applications are as follows:
IPMI version 2.0 Command Test Tool is a low-level MS-DOS command line tool that enables hexformatted IPMI commands to be sent to an IPMI BMC that implements the KCS interface. You can locate this tool on the Intel website (http://www.intel.com/design/servers/ipmi/tools.htm). IPMItool is a utility for managing and configuring devices that support the IPMI version 1.5 and version 2.0 specifications and can be used in a Linux environment. You can locate this tool on the IPMItool website (http://ipmitool.sourceforge.net/index.html).
IPMI functionality provided by iLO 2 When emulating a BMC for the IPMI interface, iLO 2 supports all mandatory commands listed in the IPMI version 2.0 specification. See the IPMI version 2.0 specification for a listing of these commands. Also, the SMS should use the methods described in the specification for determining which IPMI features are enabled or disabled in the BMC (for example, using the Get Device ID command). If the server operating system is running and the health driver is enabled, any IPMI traffic through the KCS interface can affect the performance of the health driver and overall health performance of the system. Do not issue any IPMI commands through the KCS interface that could have a detrimental affect on the monitoring performed by the health driver. These commands include any commands that sets or changes IPMI parameters, such as Set Watchdog Timer and Set BMC Global Enabled. Any IPMI command that simply returns data is safe to use, such as Get Device ID and Get Sensor Reading.

Terminal Services warning message
Terminals Services users operating on Windows 2003 Server might notice the following when using the Terminal Services pass-through feature of iLO 2. If a Terminal Services session is established through iLO 2 and a second Terminal Services session is established by a Windows administrator (Console mode), the first Terminal Services session is disconnected. However, the first Terminal Services session does not receive the warning message indicating the disconnection until approximately one minute later. During this one-minute period, the first Terminal Services session is available or active. This is normal behavior, but it is different than the behavior observed when both Terminal Services sessions are established by Windows administrators. In that case, the warning message is received by the first Terminal Services session immediately.
Terminal Services Passthrough option display
The iLO 2 firmware might not accurately display the Terminal Services Passthrough option. The Terminal Services Passthrough option might appear active even if the operating system is not Terminal Services enabled (for example, if the host operating system is Linux, which does not support Terminal Services operation).
Remote Console and Terminal Services clients
Using the management network connection to the iLO 2, an iLO 2 Remote Console session can be used to display a Terminal Services session to the host. When the iLO 2 Remote Console applet runs, it launches the Terminal Services client based on user preference. The Sun JVM must be installed to obtain full functionality of this feature. If the Sun JVM is not installed, then the Remote Console cannot automatically launch the Terminal Services client. If Terminal Services pass-through is enabled, and the Terminal Services server is available, switching between iLO 2 Remote Console and the Terminal Services client will be seamless as the server progresses from pre-operating system environment to operating system-running environment, to operating system-not available environment. The seamless operation is available as long as the Terminal Services client is not started before Remote Console is available. If Remote Console is available and the Terminal Services client is available, Remote Console will start the Terminal Services client when appropriate.

This setting enables you to use the serial port to change the speed of the serial port for the CLI feature. The following speeds (in bits/s) are valid: 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200. The serial port configuration must be set to No parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit (N/8/1) for proper operation. The serial port speed that is set by this parameter must match the speed of the serial port set in the System ROM RBSU setup. This setting specifies the minimum number of characters allowed when a user password is set or changed. The character length can be set at a value from 0 to 39. This setting enables you to specify the host server name. This value is assigned when using HP ProLiant Management Agents. If you do not use the agents and the host unnamed message appears, you can change it here. If the agents are running, the value you assign can be overwritten. To force the browser to refresh, save this setting, and press F5.

Authentication Failure Logging
Enabled-Every 3rd Failure
This setting allows you to configure logging criteria for failed authentications. All login types are supported and every login type works independently. The following are valid settings:
Enabled-Every FailureA failed login log entry is recorded after every failed login attempt. Enabled-Every 2nd FailureA failed login log entry is recorded after every second failed login attempt. Enabled-Every 3rd FailureA failed login log entry is recorded after every third failed login attempt. Enabled-Every 5th FailureA failed login log entry is recorded after every fifth failed login attempt. DisabledNo failed login log entry is recorded.

Configuring iLO 2 40

When logging in to iLO 2 with Telnet or SSH clients, the number of login name and password prompts offered by iLO 2 matches the value of the Authentication Failure Logging parameter (or 3 when it is disabled.) However, the number of prompts might also be affected by your Telnet and SSH client configurations. Telnet and SSH logins also implement delays after login failure. During the delay, login is disabled so no login failure occurs. As an example, to generate an SSH authentication failure log with a default value (for instance, Enabled-Every 3rd Failure), three consecutive login failures occur as follows (assuming the SSH client is configured with the number of password prompts >= 3):
Run the SSH client and log in with an incorrect login name and password. You will receive three password prompts. After the third incorrect password, the connection terminates, and the first login failure is recorded. The SSH login failure counter is set to 1. Run the SSH client until receiving the login prompt. Log in with an incorrect login name and password. You will receive three password prompts. After the third incorrect password, the connection terminates, and the second login failure is recorded. The SSH login failure counter is set to 2. Run the SSH client until receiving the login prompt. Log in with an incorrect login name and password. You will receive three password prompts. After the third incorrect password, the connection terminates and the third login failure is recorded. The SSH login failure counter is set to 3.

Two-factor authentication login
When you connect to iLO 2 and two-factor authentication is required, the Client Authentication page prompts you to select the certificate you want to use. The Client Authentication page displays all of the certificates available to authenticate a client. Select your certificate. The certificate can be a certificate mapped to a local user in iLO 2, or a user specific certificate issued for authenticating to the domain.

Configuring iLO 2 49

After you have selected a certificate, if the certificate is protected with a password or if the certificate is stored on a smart card, a second page appears prompting you to enter the PIN or password associated with the chosen certificate.
The certificate is examined by iLO 2 to ensure it was issued by a trusted CA by checking the signature against the CA certificate configured in iLO 2. iLO 2 determines if the certificate has been revoked and if it maps to a user in the iLO 2 local user database. If all of these tests pass, then the normal iLO 2 user interface appears. If your credential authentication fails, the Login Failed page appears. If login fails, you are instructed to close the browser, open a new browser page, and try connecting again. If directory authentication is enabled, and local user authentication fails, iLO 2 displays a login page with the directory user name field populated with either the User Principal Name from the certificate or the Distinguished Name (derived from the subject of the certificate). iLO 2 requests the password for the account. After providing the password, you are authenticated.
Using two-factor authentication with directory authentication
In some cases, configuring two-factor authentication with directory authentication is complicated. iLO 2 can use HP Extended schema or Default Directory schema to integrate with directory services. To ensure security when two-factor authentication is enforced, iLO 2 uses an attribute from the client certificate as the directory user's login name. Which client certificate attribute iLO 2 uses is determined by the Certificate Owner Field configuration setting on the Two-Factor Authentication Settings page. If Certificate Owner Field is set to SAN, iLO 2 obtains the directory user's login name from the UPN attribute of the SAN. If the Certificate Owner Field setting is set to Subject, iLO 2 obtains the directory user's distinguished name from the subject of the certificate. Which Certificate Owner Field setting to choose depends on the directory integration method used, the directory architecture, and what information is contained in the user certificates that are issued. The following examples assume you have the appropriate permissions. Authentication using Default Directory Schema, part 1: The distinguished name for a user in the directory is CN=John Doe,OU=IT,DC=MyCompany,DC=com, and the following are the attributes of John Doe's certificate:

When you first access iLO 2, the interface displays the Status Summary page with system status and status summary information, and provides access to health information, system logs, and Insight Agent information. The options available in the System Status section are: Summary, System Information, iLO 2 Log, IML, Diagnostics, iLO 2 User Tips, and Insight Agents. The Status Summary page displays high-level details about the system and iLO 2 subsystem, as well as links to commonly used features. To access the Status Summary page from other areas of the iLO 2 interface, click System Status>Summary.
Status information includes:
Server NameDisplays the name of the server and is a link to Administration>Options>Access. UUIDDisplays the ID of the server. Server Serial Number/Product IDDisplays the serial number of the server, which is assigned when the system is manufactured. You can change this setting using the system RBSU during POST. Product ID distinguishes between different systems with similar serial numbers. Although the Product ID is assigned when the system is manufactured, you can change this setting using the system RBSU during POST. System ROMDisplays the family and version of the active system ROM. If the system supports a backup system ROM, the backup date is also shown. System HealthSummarizes the condition of the monitored subsystems including overall status and redundancy (ability to handle a failure) and is a link to System>Status>System Information Summary.

Using iLO 2 76

Internal Health LEDRepresents the server internal health indicator (if supported). It summarizes problems with fans, temperature sensors, VRMs, and other monitored subsystems in the server. For more information, see "System Information Summary (on page 78)." TPM StatusDisplays TPM status configuration. If the host system or System ROM does not support TPM, TPM Status does not appear in Status Summary page. For more information, see "Trusted Platform Module support." Server PowerDisplays the current power state of the server (ON/STANDBY) when the page was loaded and is a link to Server>Power Management. Users with virtual power and reset privilege can also use the Momentary Press button. UID LightDisplays the state of the UID light when the page was loaded. You can control the UID state using the Turn UID On button in addition to the physical UID buttons on the server chassis. The UID helps you identify and locate a system, especially in high-density rack environments. Additionally, the UID indicates that a critical operation is underway on the host, such as Remote Console access or firmware update. CAUTION: Never remove power from a server with a flashing UID.

Text-based remote console overview
iLO and its predecessors support a true text-based remote console. Video information is obtained from the server and the contents of the video memory are sent to the management processor, compressed, encrypted, and forwarded to the management client application. iLO uses a screen-frame buffer, which detects changes in text information, encrypts the changes, and sends the characters (including screen positioning information) to text-based client applications. This method provides compatibility with standard text-based clients, good performance, and simplicity. However, you cannot display non-ASCII or graphical information, and screen positioning information (displayed characters) might be sent out of order.

Using iLO 2 98

The Remote Console uses Virtual KVM and does not provide a true text-based console. iLO 2 uses the video adapter DVO port to access video memory directly. This method significantly increases iLO 2 performance. However, the digital video stream does not contain useful text data. Data obtained from the DVO port represents graphical data (non-character-based), and is not comprehensible ASCII or text data. This video data cannot be rendered by a text-based client application such as telnet or SSH.
Text-based console during POST
The standard iLO 2 text-based remote console remains available on iLO 2 until the operating system POST is complete. iLO 2 standard firmware continues to use the virtualized serial-port functionality of the management processor. On the iLO 2 firmware, the virtual serial port was renamed Remote Serial Console. iLO 2 uses the Remote Serial Console to access a pre-operating system, text-based remote console. The iLO 2 Remote Serial Console applet appears as a text-based console, but the information is rendered using graphical video data. iLO 2 displays this information through the remote console applet while in the server pre-operating system state, enabling a non-licensed iLO 2 to observe and interact with the server during POST activities. For an iLO 2 blade (and an iLO blade running Linux in a graphical format), enter getty() on the server's serial port, and then use iLO 2 Remote Serial Console or iLO Virtual Serial Port (CLP command start /system1/oemhp_vsp1) to view a login session to the Linux operating system through the serial port. A non-licensed iLO 2 cannot use Remote Console access after the server completes POST and begins to load the operating system. To use Remote Console and iLO Text Console after POST, you must have an iLO 2 Advanced or iLO 2 Advanced for BladeSystem.

AvailableThe virtual serial port is not in use In useNormal mode when the virtual serial port is connected normally In useRaw mode when the WiLODbg.exe utility is used to connect
When the virtual serial port is in use, the Disconnect button is enabled and can be used to terminate any type of virtual serial port connection. Using the Disconnect features to terminate a virtual serial port connection that was established using SSH completely disconnects the SSH connection and does not return to the </>hpiLO-> prompt. A similar disconnect occurs if the virtual serial port connection is established using telnet. If a remote serial connection applet is used to make the connection from a browser, the applet is disconnected. The applet window must be closed and reopened to reestablish the remote serial connection.
Using a remote Windows Kernel Debugger
To start a Windows Kernel Debugger, you must launch the WiLODbg.exe utility on a client system that has Microsoft WinDBG.exe or KD.exe installed, and then reboot the remote server into debug mode to attach the debugger. WiLODbg automatically launches WinDBG.exe or KD.exe. For example: WiLODbg <IP Address>[ -c CommandLine][ -e][ -k][ -p Password][ -s SocketNumber][ -t][ -u Username] If a parameter has whitespace in it, enclose it in quotes. Required Parameters: IP Address = <String>is the IP Address in dot format or full UNC name. <String> is a series of characters. Required parameters must occur in the order shown in the example. Optional Parameters:
-c CommandLine = <String>Provides additional command line parameters to the selected debugger. If there are embedded spaces or dashes (-) enclose them in quotation marks. <String> = A series of characters. -e = <Boolean>Turns on encryption for the communications link. Encryption only works with the telnet option in this version. Default is disabled. -k = <Boolean>Use KD instead of WinDbg. Default is to use WinDbg. -p Password = <String>Sets the Password to use for iLO 2 login. If not provided, password is requested. <String> is a series of characters. -s SocketNumber = <Integer>Sets the socket number for connection to iLO 2. SocketNumber must match the Raw Serial Data Port setting on the iLO 2 you are connecting to. Socket 3002 is the default. <Integer> = [sign]digits. -t = <Boolean>Uses a telnet connection indirectly through this utility from the debugger. Socket connection to socket 3002 is the default setting.

Using iLO 2 106

-u Username = <String>Sets the Username for iLO 2 login. If not provided username is requested. <String> is a series of characters. Options can occur in any order. To connect to iLO 2 at 16.100.226.57, validate the user with the user name of admin with the password mypass, and start WinDBG.exe with the additional command line: wilodbg 16.100.226.57 -c "-b" -u admin -p mypass This example starts WinDBG.exe with an additional command line of -b and uses a direct socket connection from WinDBG.exe to iLO 2 on port 3002.

The 24-Hour History section displays the following:

Processor states

The Power Regulator for ProLiant Data page enables you to view processor states (p-state) and a running average of the percentage of time each logical processor has spent in each p-state over the previous 24hours. Click Refresh to update the p-state data graph. You must have the Configure iLO 2 Settings privilege to view the Power Regulator for ProLiant Data page. Power Regulator for ProLiant Data is a licensed feature available with the purchase of optional licenses. For more information, see "Licensing (on page 26)". To access the Power Regulator for ProLiant Data page, click Power Management>Processor States.
The Power Regulator Data page displays the collected p-state data, starting from host power up once a second and then refreshes for display once every 5 minutes. The system ROM reads the current status of each logical processor. The status register in Intel-based platforms reflects the current operating frequency and voltage. Because of multiple processor dependencies, the status might or might not reflect an absolute p-state. The frequency might be at one p-state and the voltage at a higher p-state. The system ROM updates the p-state count of the p-state for the current frequency and not the current voltage. Data is displayed using a bar graph, with the total bar length representing 100% of the time covered by the data. One data graph is displayed for each processor or core. Data graphs for multiple threads on a processor or core that supports Hyper-Threading are not displayed. A portion of the bar is colored

Using iLO 2 120

differently for each p-state the processor was in, with each colored portion scaled to represent the percentage of the total time the processor spent in that p-state. Pausing the mouse over the bar graph displays a tool tip that indicates the numeric percentage that portion of the bar represents.

Power efficiency

iLO 2 enables you to implement improved power usage using a High Efficiency Mode (HEM). HEM improves the power efficiency of the system by placing the secondary power supplies into step-down mode. When the secondary supplies are in step-down mode, the primary supplies provide all the DC power to the system. The power supplies are more efficient (more DC output Watts for each Watt of AC input) at higher power output levels, and the overall power efficiency improves. When the system begins to draw more than 70% capacity of the maximum power output of the primary supplies, the secondary supplies return to normal operation (out of step-down mode). When the power use drops below 60% capacity of the primary supplies, the secondary supplies return to step-down mode. HEM enables you to achieve power consumption equal to the maximum power output of the primary and the secondary supplies, while maintaining improved efficiency at lower power usage levels. HEM does not affect power redundancy. If the primary supplies fail, then the secondary supplies immediately begin supplying DC power to the system, preventing any downtime. You can configure HEM only through the RBSU. You cannot modify these settings through iLO. Settings for HEM are Enabled or Disabled (also called Balanced Mode), and Odd or Even supplies as primary. These settings are visible in the High Efficiency Mode & Standby Power Save Mode section of the System Information>Power tab. This section displays the following information:

Directory services 151

d. Add users to the role. Click the Members tab, and add users using the Add button and the Select
Users dialog box. The devices and users are now associated.
Use the Lights Out Management tab to set the rights for the role. All users and groups within a role will have the rights assigned to the role on all of the iLO 2 devices managed by the role. In this example, the users in the remoteAdmins role will be given full access to the iLO 2 functionality. Select the boxes next to each right, and then click Apply. Click OK to close the property sheet. Using the same procedure as in step 4, edit the properties of the remoteMonitors role, add the ribemail-server device to the Managed Devices list on the HP Devices tab, and add users to the remoteMonitors role using the Members tab. Then, on the Lights Out Management tab, select the box next to the Login. Click Apply and OK. Members of the remoteMonitors role will be able to authenticate and view the server status.
User rights to any iLO 2 are calculated as the sum of all the rights assigned by all the roles in which the user is a member, and in which the iLO 2 is a Managed Device. Following the preceding examples, if a user is in both the remoteAdmins and remoteMonitors roles, they will have all the rights, because the remoteAdmins role has those rights. To configure iLO 2 and associate it with a Lights-Out Management object used in this example, use settings similar to the following on the Directory Settings screen. RIB Object DN = cn=rib-email-server,ou=RILOES,dc=testdomain,dc=local Directory User Context 1 = cn=Users,dc=testdomain,dc=local For example, to gain access, user Mel Moore, with the unique ID MooreM, located in the users organizational unit within the testdomain.local domain, who is also a member of one of the remoteAdmins or remoteMonitors roles, would be allowed to log in to the iLO 2. Mel would enter testdomain\moorem, or moorem@testdomain.local, or Mel Moore, in the Login Name field of the iLO 2 login screen, and use their Active Directory password in the Password field of that screen.

HP SIM identification and association
HP SIM can identify an iLO 2 processor and create an association between iLO 2 and server. The administrator of the LOM device may configure iLO 2 to respond to HP SIM identification requests.

HP SIM status

In HP SIM, iLO 2 is identified as a management processor. HP SIM displays the management processor status within the Systems List.
HP Systems Insight Manager integration 184
The iLO 2 management processor is displayed as an icon in the device list on the same row as its host server. The color of the icon represents the status of the management processor.
For a complete list of device statuses, see the HP Systems Insight Manager Technical Reference Guide located on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim).

HP SIM links

For ease of management, HP SIM creates links to the following locations:
iLO 2 and the host server from any System List The server from the System Page of iLO 2 iLO 2 from the System Page of the server
The Systems List pages display iLO 2, the server, and the relationship between iLO 2 and server. For example, the page can display the server, the iLO 2 name next to the server, and iLO 2 name IN server in the System Name field for iLO 2. Clicking on a status icon for iLO 2 takes you to the iLO 2 Web interface. Clicking on the hardware status icon takes you to the Insight Management Agents for the device. Clicking on the iLO 2 or server name takes you to the System Page of the device. Within the System Page are the Identity, Tools & Links, and Event tabs. These tabs provide identity and status information, event information, and links for the associated device.

HP SIM systems lists

iLO 2 management processors can be viewed within HP SIM. A user with full configuration rights can create and use customized system collections to group management processors. See the HP Systems Insight Manager Technical Reference Guide, provided with HP SIM and available on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim) for additional details.
HP Systems Insight Manager integration 185
Receiving SNMP alerts in HP SIM
You can configure iLO 2 to forward alerts from the host operating system management agents and to send iLO 2-generated alerts to HP SIM. HP SIM provides support for full SNMP management, and iLO 2 supports SNMP trap delivery to HP SIM. You can view the event log, select the event, and view the additional information about the alert. Configuring receipt of SNMP alerts in HP SIM is a two-step process. The process requires HP SIM to discover iLO 2 and configuring iLO 2 to enable SNMP alerts.

Troubleshooting iLO 2 194
Inability to access the login page
If you cannot access the login page, you must verify the SSL encryption level of your browser is set to 128 bits. The SSL encryption level in iLO 2 is set to 128 bits and cannot be changed. The browser and iLO 2 encryption levels must be the same.
Inability to access iLO 2 using telnet
If you cannot access iLO 2 using telnet, you must verify the Remote Console Port Configuration and Remote Console Data Encryption on the Global Settings screen. If Remote Console Port Configuration is set to Automatic, the Remote Console applet enables port 23, starts a session, and then closes port 23 when the session is completed. Telnet cannot automatically enable port 23, so it fails.
Inability to access virtual media or graphical remote console
Virtual media and graphical Remote Console are only enabled by licensing the optional iLO Advanced Pack. A message is displayed to inform the user that the features are not available without a license. Although up to 10 users are allowed to log into iLO 2, only one user can access the remote console. A warning message is displayed indicating that the Remote Console is already in use.
Inability to connect to iLO 2 after changing network settings
Verify that both sides of the connection, the NIC and the switch, have the same settings for transceiver speed autoselect, speed, and duplex. For example, if one side is autoselecting the connection, then the other side should as well. The settings for the iLO 2 NIC are controlled in the Network Settings screen.
Inability to connect to the iLO 2 Diagnostic Port
If you cannot connect to the iLO 2 Diagnostic Port through the NIC, be aware of the following:
The use of the diagnostic port is automatically sensed when an active network cable is plugged in to it. When switching between the diagnostic and back ports, allow one minute for the network switchover to be complete before attempting to connect through the web browser. If a critical activity is in progress, the diagnostic port cannot be used until the critical activity is complete. Critical activities include the following:
Firmware upgrade Remote Console session SSL initialization
If you are using a client workstation that contains more than one enabled NIC, such as a wireless card and a network card, a routing issue might prevent you from accessing the diagnostic port. To resolve this issue: Have only one active NIC on the client workstation. For example, disable the wireless network card. Configure the IP address of the client workstation network to match the iLO 2 Diagnostic Port network so that the following conditions are met:

These behaviors continue as long as the duplicate windows are open. All activities are attributed to the same user, using the last session cookie set.
Displaying the current session cookie
After logging in, you can force the browser to display the current session cookie by entering javascript:alert(document.cookie) in the URL navigation bar. The first field visible is the session ID. If the session ID is the same among the different browser windows, then these windows are sharing the same iLO 2 session. You can force the browser to refresh and reveal your true identity by pressing the F5 key, selecting View>Refresh, or using the refresh button.
Troubleshooting iLO 2 209
Preventing cookie-related user issues
To prevent cookie-based behavioral problems:
Start a new browser for each login by double-clicking the browser icon or shortcut. Click the Log Out link to close the iLO 2 session before closing the browser window.
Inability to access ActiveX downloads
If your network does not allow ActiveX controls you can capture the DVC.DLL from a single system and then distribute the file to client machines on the network.
Log into iLO 2. Type https://ilo_name/dvc.cab in the browser address bar. The file download dialog box displays. Click Open and save the DVC.DLL file to your local drive. Copy the DVC.DLL file to the client system that does not allow ActiveX downloads. From this client system, open a command prompt window. Navigate to the directory containing the DVC.DLL file and enter regsvr32 dvc.dll.
Inability to get SNMP information from HP SIM
The agents running on the managed server supply SNMP information to HP SIM. For agents to pass information through iLO 2, iLO 2 device drivers must be installed. Refer to the "Installing iLO 2 Device Drivers" section for installation instructions. If you have installed the drivers and agents for iLO 2, verify that iLO 2 and the management PC are on the same subnet. You can verify this quickly by pinging iLO 2 from the management PC. Consult your network administrator for proper routes to access the network interface of iLO 2.
Incorrect time or date of the entries in the event log
You can update the time and date on iLO 2 by running the RBSU. This utility automatically sets the time and date on the processor using the server time and date. The time and date are also updated by Insight Management agents on supported network operating systems.

Standard Features

Integrated Lights-Out Standard Features
Virtual Text Remote Console The standard Integrated Lights-Out provides embedded hardware remote console capabilities on a text mode screen. The operating system-independent console supports text modes that display remote host server activities, such as shutdown and startup operations. Using a supported browser, command line or script interface, Integrated Lights-Out 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 Integrated Lights-Out. 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 with a failed operating system. Integrated Lights-Out provides the ability to monitor and control the status of the Unit ID LED. The Unit ID LED is the blue LED on the ProLiant server that is used for identifying systems in a rack full of servers. Integrated Lights-Out allows you to view the status of the Unit ID LED and change the status using Integrated Lights-Out Web pages. In iLO v 1.70 or later, the new Power Regulator for ProLiant can be enabled from any of the iLO standard interfaces, browser, command line or script. Static Low Power Mode and Dynamic Power Savings Mode 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. (Visit the Power Regulator web site for supported server information.)

Command line accessible Firmware version 1.70 or greater supports the new industry standard command line, DMTF System Management Architecture for Server Hardware, Command Line Protocol and Draft Specification. Using the Command Line Protocol (CLP), customers can configure, update and operate all iLO functions including virtual power, display logs, and invoking the remote console or virtual serial port. In addition to allow a smooth transition to CLP, the Simple Command Line Interface introduced in iLO version 1.60 will continue to be supported in iLO version 1.70. Integrated Lights-Out is also accessible from a command line over Telnet, Secure Shell and direct serial connection. Firmware version 1.70 or greater supports the new industry standard command line, DMTF System Management Architecture for Server Hardware, Command Line Protocol, and Preliminary Specification v 0.9. Using the Command Line Protocol (CLP), customers can configure, update and operate all iLO functions including virtual power, display logs, and invoking the remote console or virtual serial port. Auto-Configuration of IP Integrated Lights-Out provides automatic network configuration. Integrated Lights-Out comes with a Address using DNS/DHCP default name and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client that leases an IP address from the DHCP server on the network. Integrated Lights-Out will register the device name with Domain Name Services (DNS) and Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS). For systems that do not use DNS/DHCP, Integrated Lights-Out allows static IP configuration. Easy to set up and use An onboard ROM-based configuration utility allows fast and easy setup without additional software. The Integrated Lights-Out 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 processors, saving time and resources. The Integrated Lights-Out supports up to 12 local user accounts with customizable access rights, individual logins and passwords. Integrated Lights-Out 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. In addition, integrated Lights-Out 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 over a Secure Shell connection. Integrated Lights-Out tracks all login attempts and maintaining a record of all login failures. When login attempts fail, Integrated Lights-Out also generates alerts and sends them to a remote management console. Integrated Lights-Out also provides logging of user actions in event log, progressive delays for failed login attempts, and login legal warning.

Group Administration & Action
Group administration simplifies an IT administrator's task of configuring and managing large deployments of Integrated Lights-Out processors. Using the HP Lights-Out Configuration Utility, an administrator can easily configure network settings, global settings, and activate the ProLiant Essentials iLO Advanced Pack license keys on a group of Integrated Lights-Out processors at a time. This can be performed in a batch process or by using HP System Insight Manager's powerful device query mechanism. Integrated Lights-Out also allows group actions on one or many servers including controlling the power switch, rebooting, retrieving important blade topology information, and switching on/off the Unit ID LED using scripts. In addition, group actions can be executed from the HP SIM menu with iLO firmware v 1.70 or greater.
Remote Firmware Update This feature ensures that Integrated Lights-Out is always up-to-date with the latest firmware available from HP. Updates to the ROM code on Integrated Lights-Out are accomplished through the browser interface, XML scripting, or using a online flash components for Windows and Linux. Auxiliary Power The Integrated Lights-Out management processor obtains its power from the auxiliary power plane of the server. If the server provides Redundant Power Supplies (RPS) then Integrated Lights-Out will use redundant power and will continue operation in the event of a power supply failure HP Systems Insight Manager and Insight Manager 7 discover all Integrated Lights-Out devices installed in servers on the network as management processors. The management processors are associated with the servers in which they are installed. Systems Insight Manager and Insight Manager 7 provide hyperlinks on the server device pages to launch and connect to Integrated Lights-Out. In additional, all Integrated Lights-Out devices can be grouped together logically, displayed on one page and issued group action commands from the HP SIM menu bar. This capability provides access to Integrated Lights-Out from one point in Systems Insight Manager and Insight Manager 7. Combined with System Management Home Page, Integrated Lights-Out provides remote access to system management information through the Integrated Lights-Out Web browser interface. Enables deployment of headless servers in a data center, eliminating the need to have a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and switch box in every rack. Provides superior cable management by reducing the required external cables from five to three per server. Provides support for delivery of SNMP server agent and Integrated Lights-Out generated alerts 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 Lights-Out manages the server's Integrated Management Log that can be accessed using a supported browser, even when the server is not operational. This capability can be helpful when troubleshooting remote host server problems. It includes a detailed event log independent of operating system, which is easily accessible through the browser or through Insight Manager. User actions like server power on/off, reset, changes in user configuration, clear event log, successful and unsuccessful login attempts are logged in the Integrated Lights-Out Event Log enabling auditing of user actions by the supervisor.

Advanced Server Management (ASM)
The Integrated Lights-Out management ASIC includes all of the Health and Wellness features of the Advanced Server Management controller. The Health drivers interface with the iLO ASIC to provide system management support, including monitoring of server components, event logging, and support for the Management Agents. Integrated Lights-Out may be used to diagnose systems. The Remote Console may be used to monitor the system for POST error messages, the Integrated Management Log and iLO Event Log record events useful for diagnostics, Virtual Media (if activated by an iLO Advanced key) may be used to boot and run System Diagnostics. A new feature with Integrated Lights-Out is the ability to record server "Port 84 POST Codes" as the system boots. These codes document the progress of the server through the booting process. The Microsoft Emergency Management Service console provides a text-based screen to access the host server. Integrated Lights-Out provides the option to access the EMS console from the Integrated LightsOut browser interface. The Emergency Management Service console option will be available on future ProLiant servers using Windows Server 2003 (when available). The Virtual Serial Port provides a text-based screen to access the host server's serial console over an Ethernet network. Integrated Lights-Out provides the option to access Microsoft Emergency Management Services on systems running Windows Server 2003 and serial tty sessions on systems running Linux operating systems. Integrated Lights-Out resides on each ProLiant BL p-class server blade and incorporates new functionality in its firmware to support the specific modular infrastructure of the ProLiant BL p-class system. The Integrated Lights-Out allows the p-class blades to be easier to deploy and manage. The new Static IP Bay Configuration feature further simplifies deployment by automatically assigning IP addresses from a reserved static pool as blades power on even if DHCP is present. The Integrated Lights-Out supports all the standard and advanced features on the p-class blade systems. The p-class blades ship from the factory with the Integrated Lights-Out Advanced feature set enabled, allowing the administrator to have full use of the robust graphical remote console and virtual media. Customers have the ability to view the server console at all times, to apply software and firmware updates remotely, to access troubleshooting information, and to reset the server and watch the entire reboot sequence from the convenience of a client browser. 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. The Integrated Lights-Out enables administrators to easily configure and manage the entire infrastructure of the p-class system, thereby reducing the complexity of the modular nature of the p-class. Integrated Lights-Out includes a separate tab in the web interface that only appears on ProLiant BL p-class systems. This web page provides specific information and configuration abilities applicable to the blade system. The Integrated lights-Out 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 Insight Manager 7 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.
