Using remote management methods
HP ProLiant Storage Servers provide remote management functionality through HP ProLiant Lights-Out
technologies. The DL160 G5 and DL185 G5 Storage Servers include a Lights-Out 100 (LO100) port
with Advanced features. The DL380 G5, and DL585 G2 Storage Servers include an Integrated
Lights-Out 2 (iLO 2) port with Advanced features.
The ML110 G5 Storage Server does not include embedded Lights-Out 100 remote management
support. This server requires the purchase and installation of the Lights-Out 100c Remote Management
Card in order to use Lights-Out 100 remote management features. For more information about the
Lights-Out 100c Remote Management Card, see

Using the Lights-Out 100 method
HP Lights-Out 100 allows you to remotely manage HP ProLiant Storage Servers remotely over an
Ethernet connection. It provides embedded KVM over IP for full remote graphical console capabilities.
This complements the virtual media and power control for complete entry level Lights-out remote
management. LO100 also enables anytime access to system management information such as hardware
health and event logs.
For more information on using HP LO100, see the HP ProLiant Lights-Out 100 Remote Management
User Guide.
To quickly set up LO100 using the default settings for LO100 Advanced features on DL160 G5, Dl185
G5, and ML110 G5 Storage Servers, follow these steps:
1.
Ensure that a network cable is connected to the LO100 port located on the back of the storage
server.
NOTE:
This connection method is easiest when the connection is to a DHCP and DNS supported
network.
2.
If you are using DHCP (IP addressing), you will need to input a static IP address by using the
direct attach method and the IPMI section of the BIOS to read the DHCP address. If you are not
using DHCP, use this procedure to set a static IP address.
3.
Using the methods described in the HP ProLiant Lights-Out 100 Remote Management User Guide,
connect to the LO100 port.
IMPORTANT:
Log on using the default LO100 user name admin and password admin.
4.
If desired, you can change the default user name and password on the administrator account to
your predefined selections.
5.
Set up your user accounts, if using the local accounts feature.
6.
Ensure that LO100 advanced features are activated. If they are not, activate these features by
entering a license key from the included HP ProLiant Essentials Lights-Out 100i Advanced Pack.
