1 Introduction to iLO 2 MP
The Integrated Lights-Out Management Processor (iLO MP) for entry class Integrity servers is
an autonomous management subsystem embedded directly on the server. It is the foundation
of the server’s High Availability (HA) embedded server and fault management. It also provides
system administrators secure remote management capabilities regardless of server status or
location. The iLO MP is available whenever the system is connected to a power source, even if
the server main power switch is in the off position.
HP has used several different names to describe the management functionality embedded in
servers, including “the management processor.” In addition, HP uses the term “management
processor” to refer to any embedded microprocessor that manages a system. Management
processor is a descriptive term (such as “server”), and iLO is a brand name or label (such as
“Integrity”).
Remote access is the key to maximizing efficiency of administration and troubleshooting for
enterprise servers. Integrity servers are designed so all administrative functions that can be
performed locally, can also be performed remotely. iLO enables remote access to the operating
system console, control over the server’s power and hardware reset functionality, and works
with the server to enable remote network booting through a variety of methods.
iLO 2 is an Integrated Lights Out 2 Management Processor (iLO 2 MP) with the latest advanced
digital video redirection technology. This new feature gives you a higher performance graphics
console redirection experience than with the previous iLO.
This chapter addresses the following topics:
•
•
•
•
•
Features
iLO 2 MP functionality includes the following:
•
•
•
•
Control of power, reset, and Transfer of Control (TOC) capabilities
Console access
Display and recording of system events
Display of detailed information about the various internal subsystems and field replaceable
units (FRUs)
•
A virtual front panel to monitor system status and see the state of front panel LEDs
The iLO 2 MP is completely independent of the host system and the operating system. It has its
own microprocessor and runs its own firmware. The operating system cannot send packets out
on the iLO 2 MP LAN, and packets on the iLO 2 MP LAN cannot go to the operating system.
The iLO 2 MP LAN is exclusive to the iLO 2 MP and is driven by an embedded realtime operating
system (RTOS) running on the iLO 2 MP.
The iLO 2 MP offers the following standard and advanced features.
Standard Features
The iLO 2 MP standard features provide the following basic system board management functions,
diagnostics, and essential Lights-Out functionality on iLO 2-supported HP servers:
Features
19
Always-on Capability
The iLO 2 MP is active and available through the iLO 2 MP LAN connection and the local serial
port connection as long as the power cord is plugged in. In the event of a complete power failure,
the iLO 2 MP data is protected by an onboard battery backup.
Virtual Front Panel
The virtual front panel (VFP) presents a summary of the system front panel using direct console
addressing.
Multiple Access Methods
The available methods to access the iLO 2 MP are as follows:
IPMI/LAN
LAN
Local Serial Port
Web
Through the iLO 2 MP MAC address
Using telnet, web, or SSH to access the iLO 2 MP LAN
Using a terminal or laptop computer for direct connection
Using a GUI
Security
The iLO 2 MP provides strong security for remote management in IT environments, such as the
following:
•
•
•
User-defined TCP/IP ports
User accounts and access management
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol- (LDAP) based directory services authentication and
authorization
•
Encrypted communication using SSL and SSH
User Access Control
The iLO 2 MP is restricted by user accounts. User accounts are password protected and are
assigned access rights that define a specific level of access to the server and to the iLO 2 MP
commands. The iLO 2 MP supports both LDAP directory user authentication and locally stored
iLO 2 MP user accounts. iLO 2 MP users can have any of the following access rights:
Console Access
Right to access the system console (the host operating
system). This does not bypass host authentication
requirements, if any.
Power Control Access
Right to power on, power off, or reset the server, and the
right to configure the power restore policy.
Local User Administration Access
iLO 2 MP Configuration Access
Right to configure locally stored user accounts.
Right to configure all iLO 2 MP settings and some system
settings, such as the power restore policy.
Virtual Media Access
Enables Advanced Pack license users the right to use the
virtual media applet.
Multiple Users
Multiple users can interact with the iLO 2 MP. However, iLO 2 MP command mode and console
mode are mirrored, allowing only one user at a time to have write access to the shared console.
When a command is completed, write access is released and any user can initiate another
command.
20
Introduction to iLO 2 MP
IMPORTANT: Although the iLO 2 MP can support multiple simultaneous connections, to do
so can impact performance. HP does not recommend running more than eight simultaneous
connections.
The iLO 2 MP supports the following connections simultaneously:
•
Four web (each web connection can have a remote serial console connection as well and not
be counted as part of the total number of connections allowed)
•
•
•
•
•
•
Eight SSH
One local console serial port (RS-232)
Four IPMI over LAN
Four telnet
One Integrated Remote Console (IRC)
One vMedia
IPMI over LAN
The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) option provides direct access from the
iLO 2 MP LAN port to the server Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) monitoring and
controlling functions such as temperature, voltage, fans, and power supplies. IPMI defines a
common interface for platform management hardware. With IPMI over LAN enabled, BMC
functions are available to other management software applications. The iLO 2 MP supports up
to four simultaneous IPMI over LAN connections.
Firmware Upgrades
Firmware upgrades enhance the functionality of the iLO 2 MP.
The MP firmware is packaged along with system, BMC, and FPGA/PSOC firmware. You can
download and upgrade the firmware package from the HP website at:
Internal Subsystem Information
The iLO 2 MP displays information about the following internal subsystems:
•
•
•
FRU information
System power state and fan status
Processor Status
DHCP and DNS Support
The iLO 2 MP supports the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and the Domain
Name System (DNS) configuration options for acquiring network information through the iLO
2 MP LAN port. When the iLO 2 MP starts, it acquires the port configuration stored on a DHCP
server to assign an IP address to the iLO 2 MP LAN port. If DNS is configured, this information
is updated on the DNS server. The simplest method to initially connect to the iLO 2 MP is with
the default DNS name found on the toe-tag on the server, for example, mp0014c29c064f.
HP SIM Group Actions
HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) is a system-level management tool that supports executing
commands from HP SIM using the SSH interface. HP SIM enables you to perform similar
management activities across multiple iLO 2s (group actions) without requiring you to access
each iLO 2 MP individually. Group actions can be taken regardless of the server power state.
Fore more information about HP SIM, see:
For the user guide, see the Information Library.
Features
21
SNMP
The SNMP is part of the TCP/IP protocol suit developed to manage servers on an IP network.
SNMP enables you to manage network performance, find and solve network problems, and plan
for network growth.
SMASH
Server Management Architecture for Server Hardware (SMASH) is an initiative by the Distributed
Management Task Force (DMTF) that encompasses specifications (Server Management CLP, SM
ME Addressing, SM Profiles) that address the interoperable manageability requirements of small
to large scale heterogeneous computer environments.
SM CLP
The SM CLP specification defines a user friendly command-line protocol that provides command
line interface (CLI) standards for interoperability.
Mirrored Console
The system console output stream is reflected to all connected console users, and any user can
provide input.
Remote Power Control
The iLO 2 MP enables remote power cycle, power on and power off, and TOC. It also provides
options to reset the system, the BMC, or iLO 2 MP.
Event Logging
The iLO 2 MP provides event logging, display, and keyword search of console history and system
events.
Advanced Features
The iLO 2 MP advanced features provide additional functionality such as the graphical integrated
remote console and virtual media. In addition, the advanced features increase security by
integrating iLO 2 MP user administration with the Active Directory or eDirectory.
NOTE: A HP ProLiant iLO 2 Advanced Pack license key will not work on an HP Integrity
server, and vice versa.
iLO 2 MP advanced features include the iLO 2 MP standard features and the following features:
Virtual Media
Virtual Media (vMedia) enables connection of client-based USB CD and DVD devices and disk
image files as virtual devices on the server, and requires the vMedia right and the Java plug-in
version 1.4.2_10 and above.
IRC
The IRC provides a remote console on Windows clients running the Internet Explorer browser
to HP Integrity-based Windows servers. It combines virtual keyboard, video, and mouse (vKVM).
Directory-Based Secure Authorization Using LDAP
The directory-based authentication and authorization option enables iLO 2 MP user accounts to
be defined in a centralized database on an LDAP server. iLO 2 MP users are authenticated when
22
Introduction to iLO 2 MP
logging in to the iLO 2 MP and authorization is given each time an iLO 2 MP command runs.
This provides a centralized database (LDAP server) of all user accounts and avoids the overhead
of creating users in each iLO 2 MP.
Directory authentication occurs by enabling Extended Schema or Default Schema. When Extended
Schema is used, the schema in the directory server must be extended. When Default Schema is
selected, schema extension is not needed.
LDAP Lite
LDAP Lite enables you to use directory authentication to log in to the iLO 2 MP without having
to do any schema extension on the directory server or snap-in installation on the client. In addition
to general directory integration benefits, iLO 2 MP schema-free integration provides the following:
•
•
•
Minimal maintenance and administration
Reliable security
Complements two-factor authentication
Not extending the schema on the directory server means the directory server does not know
anything about the iLO 2 MP object or privileges, and the only thing the iLO 2 MP queries from
the directory server is to authenticate the user name and password.
Power Meter Readings
The power meter readings feature enables you to graphically view and monitor server power
usage, temperature, and power regulator settings.
HP Insight Power Manager
HP Insight Power Manager (HP IPM), a plug-in to HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM), is an
integrated power monitoring and management application that provides centralized control of
server power consumption and thermal output. It extends the unified infrastructure management
framework of HP SIM by providing new energy levers into the server.
Leveraging HP power regulator technology, HP IPM makes policy-based power and thermal
management possible by enabling you to view and modify the power efficiency regulator mode
of the system. It expands the capacity of data centers by reducing the amount of power and
cooling required for supported Integrity servers and the server blades.
Information on HP IPM is available at:
Advanced Pack License
The iLO 2 MP Advanced Pack license features sophisticated virtual administration and security
features for ultimate control of servers in data centers and remote sites. With an iLO 2 MP
Advanced Pack license key, you can activate powerful remote management features to install,
configure, monitor, update, and troubleshoot remote HP servers anywhere, anytime from a
standard web browser, command line or script.
Advanced Pack License
23
IMPORTANT: On HP Integrity server blades, the Advanced Pack license is standard. Remember
to save the Advanced Pack license key information that was provided by HP. If you ever need
to replace your server blade under warranty, you will need to transfer the key by typing the code
on the replacement server blade.
NOTE: A HP ProLiant iLO 2 Advanced Pack license key will not work on an HP Integrity
server, and vice versa.
Obtaining and Activating iLO 2 MP Advanced Pack Licensing
A free 30-day evaluation license is available for download on the HP website. The evaluation
license activates and accesses iLO 2 MP Advanced Pack features. You can only install one
evaluation license per iLO 2 MP. After the evaluation period, an iLO 2 MP Advanced Pack license
is required to continue using the advanced features. The iLO 2 MP Advanced Pack license features
automatically deactivate when the evaluation license key expires.
Systems that do not have VGA support all other Advanced Pack license features.
For more information, see the HP website at:
Follow the factory-install or manual install instructions located on the Integrated Lights-Out
Advanced Pack for HP Integrity Servers; Certificate of License to Use; License Installation Card to activate
your license.

Security
It is important to have strong security surrounding the iLO 2 MP device. HP security requirements
of the enterprise and architected the iLO 2 MP include the following:
Authentication
Authorization
iLO 2 MP incorporates authentication techniques with the use of 128-bit
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption. It is password based for web and
password- and key-based for secure shell (SSH).
Using local accounts, iLO 2 MP enables you to define up to 19 separate
users and to vary the server access rights of each user. The directory
services capabilities of iLO 2 MP enables you to maintain network user
accounts and security policies in a central, scalable database that supports
thousands of users, devices, and management roles.
Integrity
Privacy
iLO 2 MP incorporates a trusted Java™ applet for vMedia.
iLO 2 MP uses SSL for web connections, RSL-RC4 encryption for integrated
remote console and remote serial console, and SSH-DES3/DES128 2.0
recommended encryption algorithms for SSH-based connections. You
can enable or disable telnet, IPMI over LAN, web, and SSH connectivity.
Login
After initial failed login attempts (default three), a delay of approximately
one second is imposed on the serial connection and the login banner
warnings are repeated. All other connection types are disconnected.
Security
25
Because iLO 2 MP devices are completely autonomous and can be used to control the server,
treat them the same as other servers. For example, include the iLO 2 MP devices in the security
and network audits.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that physical access to the server is limited. Anyone can clear passwords
by pressing the power button for longer than four seconds.
Protecting SNMP Traffic
Because SNMP uses passwords, known as community strings, that are sent across the network
in clear text, you must enhance the network security when using SNMP traffic. To enhance
network security, do the following:
•
Reset the community strings (read only) with the same frequency and according to the same
guidelines as the administrative passwords. For example, select alphanumeric strings with
at least one uppercase letter, one numeral, and one symbol.
•
Set firewalls or routers to accept only specific source and destination addresses. For example,
you can allow inbound SNMP traffic into the host server only if it comes from one of the
predetermined management workstations.
TIP: Telnet sends data without encryption and is not a secure connection. HP recommends
using SSH instead of telnet because SSH uses encryption.
To enable and disable telnet access, use the SAcommand.
Lights-Out Advanced/KVM Card
The Lights-Out Advanced/KVM card (LOA) is a PCI-X card that you install into any sx2000-based
mid-range or high-end HP Integrity server.
The LOA card enables the Lights-Out Advanced vKVM and vMedia features of the iLO 2 MP
for the rx7640, rx8640, and Superdome sx2000 servers.
The LOA card is also a KVM card that offers physical video functionality for servers running
Windows, and USB functionality for servers running HP-UX, Windows, and OpenVMS.
All Lights-Out Advanced features are fully enabled on the LOA card--there is no additional
advanced pack license to purchase. At present, vKVM is only available for servers running
Windows and vMedia is available for servers running HP-UX, Windows, and OpenVMS.
The LOA card is not currently supported under Linux.
The Lights-Out Advanced features are accessed through the iLO 2 web interface.

Introduction to iLO 2 MP
2 Ports and LEDs
All iLO 2 MP functions are available through the server iLO 2 MP LAN port and the local and
remote serial ports. On HP Integrity server blades, all iLO 2 MP functions are available on the
Onboard Administrator. This chapter describes the available iLO 2 MP ports, connectors, and
LEDs on the HP Integrity server blades, and the rx2660, rx3600, and rx6600 servers.
This chapter addresses the following topics:

HP Integrity Server Blade Components
Onboard Administrator is the enclosure management processor, subsystem, and firmware base
used to support the HP Integrity server blades and all the managed devices contained within
the enclosure. Onboard Administrator provides a single point from which to perform basic
management tasks on server blades or switches within the enclosure. Using this hardwired
knowledge, Onboard Administrator performs initial configuration steps for the enclosure, enables
runtime management and configuration of the enclosure components, and informs you of
problems within the enclosure through e-mail, SNMP, or the Insight Display.
Before setting up the HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator, HP recommends that you read
the HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator User Guide on the HP website at:
Reading this guide ensures that you understand the HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator
and that you properly complete the initial setup to facilitate its proper functioning.
