HP Integrated Lights-Out 3 - Manual (Page 152)

1. Navigate to the Power Management
→Power Settings page, as shown in
Figure 81 (page 150) .
2. Select a value in the Warning Trigger list.
The warning trigger determines whether warnings are based on peak power consumption,
average power consumption, or if they are disabled.
3. Enter a value in the Warning Threshold box.
This value sets the power consumption threshold, in watts. If power consumption exceeds this
value for the specified time duration, an SNMP alert is triggered.
4. Enter a value in the Duration box.
This value sets the length of time, in minutes, that power consumption must remain above the
warning threshold before an SNMP alert is triggered. The maximum duration is 240 minutes,
and the duration must be a multiple of 5.
5. Click Apply to save the configuration.
Configuring the persistent mouse and keyboard
The Other Settings section on the Power Settings page allows you to enable or disable the persistent
keyboard and mouse feature.
When this feature is enabled, the iLO virtual keyboard and mouse are always connected to the
iLO UHCI USB controller. When this feature is disabled, the iLO virtual keyboard and mouse are
connected dynamically to the iLO UHCI controller only when a Remote Console application is
open and connected to iLO. Disabling the feature allows some HP servers to increase power savings
by 15 watts when the server operating system is idle and no virtual USB keyboard and mouse are
connected.
For example, the power savings for a 24–hour period might be 15 watts x 24 hours, or 360 watt
hours (.36 kilowatt-hours).
The persistent mouse and keyboard feature is enabled by default because some operating systems
cannot enumerate the USB keyboard correctly during installation.
To change the persistent mouse and keyboard setting:
1.
Navigate to the Power Management
→Power Settings page, as shown in
Figure 81 (page 150) .
2. Select or clear the Enable persistent mouse and keyboard check box.
3. Click Apply to save the configuration.
Using iLO with Onboard Administrator
OA is the enclosure management processor, subsystem, and firmware base that supports the HP
BladeSystem and all managed devices in the enclosure.
Using the Active Onboard Administrator
The BL c-Class
→Active Onboard Administrator page provides general information about the primary
OA in the enclosure in which the iLO processor is located. This page is displayed only when there
is an enclosure.
Figure 82 (page 153) shows an example of the page.
