iLO 2
iLO 2 is a standard component of ProLiant c-Class server blades that provides server health and remote
server blade manageability. Its features are accessed from a network client device using a supported web
browser. In addition to other features, iLO 2 provides keyboard, mouse, and video (text and graphics)
capability for a server blade, regardless of the state of the host OS or host server blade.
iLO 2 includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory, and a dedicated network interface. This
design makes iLO 2 independent of the host server blade and its OS. iLO 2 provides remote access to
any authorized network client, sends alerts, and provides other server blade management functions.
Using a supported web browser, you can:
•
Remotely access the console of the host server blade, including all text mode and graphics mode
screens with full keyboard and mouse controls.
•
Remotely power up, power down, or reboot the host server blade.
•
Remotely boot a host server blade to a virtual media image to perform a ROM upgrade or
install an OS.
•
Send alerts from iLO 2 regardless of the state of the host server blade.
•
Access advanced troubleshooting features provided by iLO 2.
•
Launch a web browser, use SNMP alerting, and diagnose the server blade with HP SIM.
•
Configure static IP bay settings for the dedicated iLO 2 management NICs on each server blade
in an enclosure for faster deployment.
To connect to the server blade using iLO 2, install the server blade in an enclosure. Onboard
Administrator assigns an IP address to enable iLO 2 connectivity to the server blade.
The c-Class tab enables you to control specific settings for the HP BladeSystem. iLO 2 also provides
web-based status for the HP BladeSystem configuration.
For detailed information about iLO 2, refer to the HP Integrated Lights-Out User Guide on the HP website
System Recovery DVD
The System Recovery DVD is used to restore the system to factory defaults. Keep this DVD in a safe place.
You may boot from the DVD and restore the system to the factory condition at any time. This allows you
to recover the system if all other means to boot the system fails. While the recovery process makes
every attempt to preserve the existing data volumes, you should have a backup of your data if at all
possible before recovering the system.
