Server management

The HP ProLiant DL145 G1 Lights-Out 100i Remote Management Processor delivers basic remote control of vital server resources, and supports IPMI 1.5. Throughout this document, you will also see the term "BMC," which is synonymous with remote management processor.

The ProLiant DL145 G1 Lights-Out 100i Remote Management Processor provides system administrators with access to the server at any time, even before an operating system is installed on the server. This remote management processor provides a text mode console redirection, IPMI CLI, and browser access to many of the same IPMI functions. You can access the remote management processor and the management features of the HP ProLiant DL145 G1 Server through a dedicated Ethernet over TCP/IP management port or through the integrated serial port.

Server management features

With the ProLiant DL145 G1 Lights-Out 100i Remote Management Processor, you can:

•

Switch between console redirection and the CLI using either the dedicated management or serial port

•

Remotely power on and off the server

•

Perform warm or cold server reboots

•

Remotely monitor server state voltage, fan speed, and system state (S0 or S5)

Using the serial port........................................................................................................................7

Using the serial port

The server serial port provides basic serial port functionality and also serves as an interface to the remote management processor. You can share the serial port between the remote management processor and the rest of the system or configure the remote management processor not to use the serial port.

You must configure the remote management processor serial port hardware parameters to work with your respective serial port communications software. Remote management processor serial port configuration is controlled with BIOS Setup.

Sharing the serial port with the remote management processor

The serial port can be configured to work in two different ways:

•

Shared—The BIOS enables the serial port as a regular system serial port for use with legacy serial devices, as well as to communicate with the remote management processor.

•

Not Shared—The server uses the serial port as a standard system serial port, but remote management processor is prohibited from using the serial port.

To enable or disable the serial port sharing:

1. Power on the server by pressing the power on/off button on the front panel.

8 HP ProLiant DL145 Lights-Out 100i Remote Management User Guide

2. When POST shows the message Press <F10> if you want to

run BIOS SETUP, press the F10 key. If the server has an administrator

password configured, the system prompts you to enter the password. If the server does not have a password configured, the main screen of the BIOS Setup Utility appears.

3. Press the right arrow (→) key to navigate to the Advanced menu.

4. Press the down (↓) key to scroll to the Management Processor

Configuration menu. Press the Enter key.

5. Press the down arrow (↓) key to scroll to the Serial Port Sharing option. Do

one of the following:

− Press the + or - key to toggle the setting between Shared and Not Shared.

Press the Enter key to select the appropriate option.

− Press the Enter key. The Options box appears. Press the up or down arrow (↑ or ↓) key to select Shared with BMC or Not shared W/BMC. Press the Enter key to select the appropriate option.

6. Press the Esc key to return to the previous screen, or press the F10 key to

save the changes and exit Setup.

BIOS serial console configuration

1. Power on the server by pressing the power on/off button on the front panel.

2. When POST shows the message Press <F10> if you want to

run BIOS SETUP, press the F10 key. If the server has an administrator password configured, the system prompts you to enter the password. If the server does not have a password configured, the main screen of the BIOS Setup Utility appears.

3. Press the right arrow (→) key to navigate to the Advanced menu

4. Press the down arrow (↓) key to scroll to the BIOS Serial Console

Configuration menu. Press the Enter key.

5. Review the serial port settings and be sure they match the serial port communications software settings used to connect to the remote management processor.

Configuration 9

6. Press the Esc key to return to the previous screen, or press the F10 key to save the changes and exit Setup.

Using the dedicated management port

The dedicated management port is a standard Ethernet 10Mb interface and is connected to the network using a standard Ethernet cable. Before using the dedicated management port you will need to determine either the DHCP IP address, set a static IP address, or use the default static IP address.

To obtain a DHCP IP address from BIOS setup:

1. Connect a standard Ethernet cable between the onboard NIC on the server rear panel and a network jack. By default, the remote management processor has DHCP enabled and automatically negotiates an IP address. To view the DHCP IP address, run the BIOS setup program or retrieve the DHCP IP address using CLI through the serial port connection.

2. Power on the server by pressing the power on/off button on the front panel.

3. When POST displays the message Press <F10> if you want to run SETUP, press the F10 key. If the server has an administrator password configured, the system prompts you to enter the password. If the server does

not have a password configured, the main screen of the BIOS Setup Utility appears.

4. Press the right arrow (→) key to navigate to the Advanced menu.

5. Press the down arrow (↓) key to scroll to the Management Processor Configuration menu. Press the Enter key.

6. Press the down arrow (↓) key to scroll to the Set LAN Configuration menu. Press the Enter key.

7. Press the down arrow (↓) key to scroll to the IP Address menu. Press the Enter key.

8. Note the DHCP assigned IP address for future reference.

9. Press the Esc key to return to the previous screen or press the F10 key to save the changes and exit Setup.

To obtain a DHCP address from the CLI:

10 HP ProLiant DL145 Lights-Out 100i Remote Management User Guide

DHCP IP addresses can be viewed using the CLI. Establish a connection to the CLI using an external device such as a laptop or another computer that is connected to the serial port with a null modem cable.

1. After the connection is established, switch from the default BIOS Serial Console connection to the CLI by first pressing and releasing the Esc key, and then simultaneously pressing the Shift + ( keys.

2. The remote management processor login prompt appears. The default user name is admin and the password is admin.

3. From the CLI, type Net and press the Enter Key to enter the Network configuration menu.

4. To view the DHCP IP address, type Stat and press the Enter key. The following information is displayed:

face...ipsrc.....IP addr........subnet.......gateway

1-et1 dhcp 16.100.250.72 255.255.252.0

16.100.248.1

5. Note the DHCP IP address for future reference.

To configure network access for static IP address from the CLI:

1. Static IP addresses can only be set using the CLI. Establish a connection to the CLI using an external device such as a laptop or another computer that is connected to the serial port with a null modem cable.

2. After the connection is established, switch from the default BIOS Serial Console connection to the CLI by first pressing and releasing the Esc key, and then simultaneously pressing the Shift + ( keys.

3. The remote management processor login prompt appears. The default user name is admin and the password is admin.

4. After logging in, press and release the Esc key and press the Shift + ( keys simultaneously to switch from BIOS serial console to the CLI.

5. From the CLI, type Net and press the Enter Key to enter the Network configuration menu.

6. Enter DHCP disable and press the Enter key. DHCP is now disabled.

7. Verify DHCP is disabled by using the stat command. If DHCP is disabled the default IP address 192.0.0.65 is displayed.

Configuration 11

8. To set a static IP address, type set ip <ip address> <net mask> et1 and press the Enter key.
