HP Integrated Lights-Out is an HP innovation that integrates industry leading Lights-Out functionality and basic system board management capabilities on selected ProLiant servers. HP Integrated Lights-Out consists of an intelligent processor and firmware that provides standard and advanced levels of lights-out, remote management functionality. Basic system board management functions, diagnostics and essential Lights-Out functionality are provided as standard features of the server and are referred to as Integrated Lights-Out Standard. Advanced functionality, referred to as Integrated Lights-Out Advanced, can be licensed with the optional HP ProLiant Essentials Integrated Lights-Out Advanced Pack or Integrated Lights-Out Select Pack. Integrated Lights-Out Select and Advanced offer sophisticated virtual administration features for full control of servers in dynamic data centre and remote locations.
Main Features
- HP ProLiant Essentials Integrated Lights-Out Advanced Pack, No Media, 1-Server License, including 1 year of 24x7 Technical Support and Updates
- The standard Integrated Lights-Out provides embedded hardware remote console capabilities on a text mode screen. The operating system-independent console supports text modes that display remote host server activities, such as shutdown and startup operations.
- Using a supported browser, command line or script interface, Integrated Lights-Out can be used to remotely operate the power button of a host. For example, if the host server is off, you can turn it on from Integrated Lights-Out. You can also power off and on the server in one step. A press and hold option is available for the Virtual Power Button in the event a momentary press is insufficient to power off a server with a failed operating system
- Integrated Lights-Out provides the ability to monitor and control the status of the Unit ID LED. The Unit ID LED is the blue LED on the ProLiant server that is used for identifying systems in a rack full of servers. Integrated Lights-Out allows you to view the status of the Unit ID LED and change the status using Integrated Lights-Out Web pages
- In iLO v 1.70 or later, the new Power Regulator for ProLiant can be enabled from any of the iLO standard interfaces, browser, command line or script. Static Low Power Mode and Dynamic Power Savings Mode can be enabled to save on server power and cooling costs. On supported ProLiant servers, Power Regulator allows CPU's to operate at lower frequency and voltage during periods of reduced application activity. (Visit the Power Regulator web site for supported server information.)
- Integrated Lights-Out provides a choice of network connectivity through a dedicated 10/100-Mbps Ethernet network connection or through a shared connection via one of the embedded system NICs. The dedicated network connection supports both graphic and text mode and provides in-band SNMP notification of server problems on a real-time basis without separate telephone connections or modem sharing devices. The NIC can auto-select speeds between 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps. The shared network connection supports text based interaction with iLO such as command line, virtual serial port and text console. Shared Network port is available on firmware versions1.60 or greater and ProLiant G4 servers
- Integrated Lights-Out supports dial-up access when using a modem router or external Remote Access Service (RAS) connection to log on to the network
- Integrated Lights-Out functionality is available around the world when used in conjunction with VPN technology
- Integrated Lights-Out is fully accessible by means of Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0, Netscape 7.2 (Linux clients only), and Mozilla Firefox 1.73 (Linux clients only). This capability allows easy access to the features of Integrated Lights-Out, giving administrators full control over the remote host server's display, keyboard, and mouse, regardless of the state of the host server or operating system
