The common usage model for iLO is a client PC running a supported browser using DHCP and DNS protocols connected to one or more iLO devices. To use iLO, plug in the power of the host server and connect an Ethernet cable to the dedicated iLO management port of the server. You can then use your Web browser to connect to iLO over an SSL connection. When logged in, you can remotely control the server from your client desktop.
Graphical Remote Console (on page 52), Virtual Media (on page 64), Terminal Services Pass-through Option (on page 109), and Directory Services (on page 143) are advanced functions that must be enabled by licensing the optional iLO Advanced Pack.
Linux customers might prefer connecting to iLO using the SSH interface instead of a browser.
There are three general network connection scenarios. iLO can be connected on:
•A corporate network with both ports connected to the corporate network. In this configuration, the server has two network ports (one server NIC, and one iLO NIC) connected to a corporate network. This connection enables access to iLO from anywhere on the network. On a corporate network, however, network traffic can hinder iLO performance.
A coroporate network configuration reduces the amount of networking hardware and infrastructure required to support iLO because iLO uses existing DNS and DHCP servers and routers.
•A dedicated management network with the iLO port on a separate network. A separate network improves performance and security, and provides redundant access to the server when a hardware failure occurs on the corporate network. In this configuration, iLO cannot be accessed directly from the corporate network.
Operational Overview |
17 |
A separate network increases the security of the management network because you can physically control which workstations are connected to the network.
•An iLO Shared Network Port using the server's NIC instead of the dedicated iLO management NIC for server management. This configuration simplifies the network and reduces total network cost. Fewer cables, hubs, and switches are needed because both regular and iLO network traffic comes through the system NIC.
The main disadvantage of using the iLO Shared Network Port for iLO server management is the lack of speed compared to the dedicated iLO management NIC. As a result, not all iLO management features are available through the iLO Shared Network Port configuration.
iLO is an independent microprocessor running an embedded operating system. The architecture ensures that the majority of iLO functionality is available, regardless of the host operating system.
Graceful host operating system shutdown, Insight Manager 7, and Systems Insight Manager integration require Health Drivers and Management Agents or remote console access.
iLO provides two interface drivers:
•iLO Advanced Server Management Controller Driver (Health Driver)—This driver provides system management support, including monitoring of server components, event logging, and support for the Management Agents.
•iLO Management Interface Driver—This driver enables system software and SNMP Insight Agents to communicate with the iLO.
These drivers and agents are available for the following network operating systems:
•Microsoft®
−Windows NT® 4.0 Server
−Windows NT® 4.0, Enterprise Edition

−Recommended—Microsoft® Internet Explorer 6.0 or later and Java™ 1.4.X JVM for Windows® 2000 or Windows® XP. To download the recommended JVM for your system configuration, refer to the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/manage/jvml).
•Linux
−Netscape 7.10
Operational Overview |
19 |
−Mozilla 1.60
Mozilla 1.60 is not supported on United Linux 1.0. Please use Mozilla 1.70. Linux, Netscape, and Mozilla require Java™ 1.4.2 JVM. To download the recommended JVM for your system configuration, refer to the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/manage/jvml).
Certain browsers and operating system combinations might not work correctly depending on their implementations of the required browser technologies.
iLO firmware supports Mozilla 1.46 and Netscape 7.10 to access iLO.
Linux-based browsers have the following limitations:
•Only the KDE desktop is supported.
•A known issue prevents the use of links in the pop-up tab menus when the browser window does not have focus. If a clickable item is behind the pop-up menu, the click event is handled as if you had clicked that item. Otherwise, the mouse click will have no effect.
The font configuration of the desktop and browser can affect the placement of pop-up tab menus. A fixed font of 12 points is required for proper placement. If the pop-up menus are not in their proper position, you will find it difficult to move the mouse from the tab to the pop-up menu before the menu can "pop down." In this situation, the user should select the desired tab and use the menu window to select the desired page. Alternatively, you can change the font size in the browser. Refer to "Configuring Linux Font Size (on page 19)" for information.
To change font size:
1.Open the KDE Control Center panel and set the fonts.
2.Start Mozilla or Netscape and configure the fonts using the Fonts—Control Center. Set the minimum font size to 12.

iLO comes preconfigured with default factory settings, including a default user account and password. If iLO is connected to a network running DNS or DHCP, you can use it immediately without changing any settings. For greater security and reliability, you can connect iLO to a separate dedicated management network.
Some advanced features require the operating system ("Supported Server
Operating System Software" on page 17) drivers be installed.
iLO offers several configuration options:
•iLO RBSU (on page 22)
•Browser-based setup (on page 23)
•Remote scripted setup (on page 24) using CPQLOCFG
•Local scripted deployment using CPQLODOS (on page 252)
•Local on-line scripted setup using HPONCFG ("HPONCFG Online Configuration Utility" on page 261)
22 User Guide Integrated Lights-Out
HP recommends iLO RBSU to initially set up iLO and initially configure iLO network parameters for environments that do not use DHCP and DNS or WINS. RBSU provides the basic tools to configure iLO network settings and user accounts to get iLO onto the network.
iLO RBSU is designed to assist you with setting up iLO on a network. iLO is not intended for continued administration. RBSU is available every time the server is booted and can be run remotely using the iLO Remote Console. You can use RBSU to configure network parameters, directory settings, global settings, and user accounts.
iLO RBSU can be disabled in the Global Settings preferences. Disabling iLO RBSU prevents reconfiguration from the host unless the iLO Security Override Switch is set.
To run iLO RBSU:
1.Restart or power up the server.
2.Press the F8 key when prompted during POST. The iLO RBSU runs.
3.If prompted, enter a valid iLO user ID and password with the appropriate iLO privileges (Administer User Accounts>Configure iLO Settings). Default account information is located on the iLO Default Network Settings tag attached to the server containing the iLO management processor. If iLO has not been configured to present a login challenge to the RBSU. No prompt will appear.
4.Make and save any necessary changes to the iLO configuration.
5.Exit iLO RBSU.
HP recommends using DNS or DHCP with iLO to simplify installation. If DNS/DHCP cannot be used, use the following procedure to disable DNS and DHCP and configure the IP address and the subnet mask:
1.Restart or power up the server.
2.Press the F8 key when prompted during POST. The iLO RBSU runs.
Configuring iLO |
23 |
3.Enter a valid iLO user ID and password with the appropriate iLO privileges (Administer User Accounts>Configure iLO Settings). Default account information is located on the iLO Default Network Settings tag.
4.Select Network>DNS/DHCP, press the Enter key, and then select DHCP Enable. Press the spacebar to turn off DHCP. Be sure that DHCP Enable is set to Off, and save the changes.
5.Select Network>NIC>TCP/IP, press the Enter key, and enter the appropriate information in the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway IP Address fields.
6.Save the changes.
7.Exit iLO RBSU. The changes take effect when you exit iLO RBSU.
Use the browser-based setup method if you can connect to iLO on the network using a browser. You can also use this method to reconfigure a previously configured iLO.
1.Access iLO from a remote network client using a supported Web browser, and provide the default DNS name, user name, and password. Default DNS name and account information is located on the iLO Network Settings tag attached to the server containing the iLO management processor.
When you successfully log onto iLO, you can change the default values of the network, user, and SNMP alerting settings through the Web browser interface.
2.Enter the activation key to enable iLO Advanced features.
If the iLO Advanced features are licensed, you can deploy your operating system using the Virtual Floppy Drive and install operating system drivers and Insight Manager agents on the remote host server using the graphical Remote Console.
For ProLiant BL p-Class servers, iLO Advanced functionality is already enabled and cannot be disabled.
24 User Guide Integrated Lights-Out
Scripts can initially configure an iLO system. The configuration scripts are text files written in a style of XML called RIBCL. You can use RIBCL scripts to configure iLO on the network, during initial deployment, or from an already deployed host. RIBCL is sent across the network in a script file. iLO scripting enables you to configure User Administration, Global Settings, Network Settings, SNMP/Insight Manager Settings, Upgrade iLO Firmware, Licensing, and ProLiant BL p-Class Rack Settings. The iLO management processor supports several scripting solutions for configuration and control of the iLO and the host server.
•CPQLOCFG is a Windows® utility that sends RIBCL scripts to iLO over the network.
•CPQLODOS ("Lights-Out DOS Utility" on page 249) is a DOS deployment utility (part of the SmartStart scripting toolkit) that runs on the host during SmartStart or RDP deployment.
•Perl ("Perl Scripting" on page 255) is a scripting language that can be used from Linux clients to send RIBCL scripts to iLO over the network.
•HPONCFG is a utility that runs on the host and passes RIBCL scripts to the local iLO. There are Windows® and Linux versions of this utility, which requires the HP iLO Management Interface Driver.
Scripting can be integrated with the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit. Scripting can also be launched with:
•Windows® client
•ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack
•Insight Manager 7
•Systems Insight Manager
