RILOE technology

The RILOE subsystem is a standard component of selected ProLiant servers that provides server health and
remote server manageability. The RILOE subsystem includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory,
and a dedicated network interface. This design makes RILOE independent of the host server and its
operating system. The RILOE subsystem provides remote access to any authorized network client, sends
alerts, and provides other server management functions.

Using RILOE, you can:

Remotely power up, power down, or reboot the host server.

Send alerts from RILOE regardless of the state of the host server.

Access advanced troubleshooting features through the RILOE interface.

Diagnose RILOE using HP SIM through a web browser and SNMP alerting.

For more information about RILOE features, refer to the RILOE documentation on the Documentation CD or
on the HP website (

).

StorageWorks library and tape tools

HP StorageWorks L&TT provides functionality for firmware downloads, verification of device operation,
maintenance procedures, failure analysis, corrective service actions, and some utility functions. It also
provides seamless integration with HP hardware support by generating and emailing support tickets that
deliver a snapshot of the storage system.

For more information, and to download the utility, refer to the StorageWorks L&TT website
(

).

Management Agents

Management Agents provide the information to enable fault, performance, and configuration
management. The agents allow easy manageability of the server through HP SIM software, and third-
party SNMP management platforms. Management Agents are installed with every SmartStart assisted
installation or can be installed through the HP PSP. The Systems Management homepage provides status
and direct access to in-depth subsystem information by accessing data reported through the Management
Agents. For additional information, refer to the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation
Pack or the HP website (

http://www.hp.com/servers/manage

).

HP Systems Insight Manager

HP SIM is a web-based application that allows system administrators to accomplish normal administrative
tasks from any remote location, using a web browser. HP SIM provides device management capabilities
that consolidate and integrate management data from HP and third-party devices.

IMPORTANT: You must install and use HP SIM to benefit from the Pre-Failure Warranty for processors,

SCSI hard drives, and memory modules.

For additional information, refer to the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack or
the HP SIM website (

http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim

).

Redundant ROM support

The server enables you to upgrade or configure the ROM safely with redundant ROM support. The server
has a 4-MB ROM that acts as two, separate 2-MB ROMs. In the standard implementation, one side of the
ROM contains the current ROM program version, while the other side of the ROM contains a backup
version.
