Remote management and control with ProLiant Onboard Administrator
All ProLiant SL servers include ProLiant Onboard Administrator powered by LO100i. ProLiant
Onboard Administrator provides the core embedded management functions in all ProLiant servers.
LO100i works with HP SIM, RBSU, and Option ROM Configuration for Arrays (ORCA) to provide
remote management, deployment, and control functions without additional software. Administrators
can access this functionality locally though the RBSU , or remotely with a web browser through HP
SIM. Additional software functionality can be added with HP LO100i advanced licenses.
HP LO100i Remote Management is hardware and firmware that provides remote server access and
control capabilities through an Ethernet interface. The HP LO100i management interface is active
even when the operating system is not running because it obtains its power from the auxiliary power
plane of the server. It is available as long as the server is connected to an active power source. HP
LO100i Remote Management is compatible with industry standards including IPMI 2.0 for hardware
health, DCMI 1.0, and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Secure Shell (SSH) technology for secure
communications over public and private local area networks. HP LO100i is fully accessible using
popular web browsers including Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 (for Microsoft Windows clients),
Firefox 1.5 (for Windows and Linux clients), and Mozilla 1.7.12 (for Windows and Linux clients). HP
LO100i is also accessible using System Management Architecture for Server Hardware Command
Line Protocol (SMASH CLP) for Telnet and SSH sessions.
LO100i Advanced Pack contains all the features of LO100i Standard. Purchasing an optional license
key provides access to Advanced Pack functionality:
•
Improvements to HP SIM support through the addition of Insight Management (SNMP) Agents
• Host access to in-band IPMI 2.0 features supported by IPMI-aware operating systems
• DNS Registration—LO100i comes with default host names and will automatically register with the
DNS if DHCP is enabled.
LO100i supports a full-speed shared Ethernet port and a dedicated Ethernet port. LO100i and the
server share the full-speed Ethernet port, using the system network for both. Since the connection is full
speed, it supports Graphic Remote Console and virtual media.
The dedicated Ethernet port is provided for SL series G6 server trays through an optional mezzanine
card and enables a separate management network.
IPMI 2.0 and DCMI 1.0
ProLiant SL G6 server trays and LO100i include IPMI 2.0 and DCMI 1.0 standards so that customers
in heterogeneous environments can manage these servers with either industry standard.
The following are basic compliance mandates:
•
Implementation of all mandatory IPMI 2.0 and DCMI 1.0 in-band and out-of-band commands
• Reliable local and remote power on/off/reset through IPMI chassis commands
• Serial over LAN console redirection from a remote server (IPMI 2.0)
• Server identification by device ID, globally unique identifier (GUID), asset tag, and chassis ID
• Accurate system event logging using IPMI
• Reliable in-band keyboard controller style (KCS) interface and out-of-band LAN interface
