Integrated Lights-Out technology
The iLO 2 subsystem is a standard component of selected ProLiant servers that provides server health and
remote server manageability. The iLO 2 subsystem includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory,
and a dedicated network interface. This design makes iLO 2 independent of the host server and its
operating system. The iLO 2 subsystem provides remote access to any authorized network client, sends
alerts, and provides other server management functions.
Using iLO 2, you can:
•
Remotely power up, power down, or reboot the host server.
•
Send alerts from iLO 2 regardless of the state of the host server.
•
Access advanced troubleshooting features through the iLO 2 interface.
•
Diagnose iLO 2 using HP SIM through a web browser and SNMP alerting.
For more information about iLO 2 features, refer to the iLO 2 documentation on the Documentation CD or
on the HP we
iLO ROM-Based Setup Utility
HP recommends using iLO RBSU to configure and set up iLO. iLO RBSU is designed to assist you with
setting up iLO on a network; it is not intended for continued administration.
To run iLO RBSU:
1.
Restart or power up the server.
2.
Press the F8 key when prompted during POST. The iLO RBSU runs.
3.
Enter a valid iLO user ID and password with the appropriate iLO privileges (Administer User
Accounts, Configure iLO Settings). Default account information is located on the iLO Default Network
Settings tag.
4.
Make and save any necessary changes to the iLO configuration.
5.
Exit iLO RBSU.
HP recommends using DNS/DHCP with iLO to simplify installation. If DNS/DHCP cannot be used, use the
following procedure to disable DNS/DHCP and to configure the IP address and the subnet mask:
1.
Restart or power up the server.
2.
Press the F8 key when prompted during POST. The iLO RBSU runs.
3.
Enter a valid iLO user ID and password with the appropriate iLO privileges (Administer User
Accounts, Configure iLO Settings). Default account information is located on the iLO Default Network
Settings tag.
4.
Select Network, DNS/DHCP, press the Enter key, and then select DHCP Enable. Press the spacebar to
turn off DHCP. Be sure that DHCP Enable is set to Off and save the changes.
5.
Select Network, NIC and TCP/IP, press the Enter key, and type the appropriate information in the IP
Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway IP Address fields.
6.
Save the changes. The iLO system automatically resets to use the new setup when you exit iLO RBSU.
