iLO overview

Three versions of iLO are available:
iLO Standard enables essential remote control and management capabilities as standard features on
next-generation ProLiant ML/DL servers. With iLO Standard, you can perform basic system administration tasks remotely. You can also access system management information at any time. These remote control capabilities reduce the need for onsite support.
iLO Advanced provides comprehensive Lights-Out remote management capabilities for ProLiant
servers. iLO Advanced gives you the freedom to enable full remote control of your ProLiant servers. You can perform the same tasks remotely that you can at the terminal, regardless of server or operating system conditions. iLO Advanced is also suitable for routine administration, giving you a single tool for any situation. Further, iLO Advanced features comprehensive data encryption, enterprise-class user authentication and the ability to isolate iLO traffic on separate networks.
iLO Select is an optional Lights-Out upgrade for ProLiant BL servers. iLO Select also provides a cost-
effective upgrade to advanced Lights-Out functionality on ProLiant 300 and 500 Series servers that are managed using iLO Standard, text-based remote consoles, typically found in Linux environments.
For information about the features available in each version of iLO, see "Licensing (on page 21)."

Typical usage

iLO remotely performs most functions that otherwise require a visit to servers in the data center, computer room, or in a remote location. The following are a few examples of how you can use iLO features:
iLO Remote Console and virtual power enables you to view a stalled remote server with blue-screen
conditions and restart the server without onsite assistance.
iLO Remote Console enables you to change BIOS settings when necessary.
iLO technology provides a high-performance remote console that enables you to remotely administer
operating systems and applications in everyday situations.
iLO virtual CD/DVD-ROM or floppy drive enables you to install an operating system or flash system
firmware over the network from images on your workstations or on centralized web servers.
iLO scripting enables you to use virtual power and virtual media in other scripting tools to automate
deployment and provisioning.
These examples illustrate how iLO is used to manage HP ProLiant servers from your office, home, or travel location. As you begin using iLO and defining your specific infrastructure requirements, refer to this guide for additional ways to simplify your remote server management needs.
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.
Another way to access iLO functionality is through the scripting interface. The scripts are text files written in XML called RIBCL. You can use RIBCL scripts to configure iLO on the network, during initial deployment, or from a previously deployed host. RIBCL also supports operations such as power on control.
Additionally, iLO functionality that can be accessed from the SMASH CLP is a low bandwidth interface that provides functionality similar to the web interface. The CLP is designed for users who prefer a non­graphical interface over a telnet or SSH connection.
iLO supports various interfaces for configuration and operation. This guide details the following interfaces:
Operational overview 10
iLO RBSU (on page 14)
A browser-based web interface ("iLO browser interface overview" on page 11)
See the HP Integrated Lights-Out Management Processor Scripting and Command Line Resource Guide for information about using the following interfaces:
CPQLOCFG is a Microsoft® Windows® utility that sends RIBCL scripts to iLO over the network.
CPQLODOS is a DOS deployment utility (part of the HP SmartStart Scripting Toolkit) that runs on the
host during SmartStart or RDP deployment.
Perl 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 require the HP iLO Management Interface Driver.
The SMASH CLP is accessible through the following access methods: telnet, SSH, virtual serial port,
or physical serial port.
Remote Console (on page 71), Virtual Media (on page 86), the Terminal Services Pass-Through option (on page 36), and Directory services (on page 104) are advanced features. See "Licensing (on page
21)" for more information.

HP ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack Integration

HP ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack integrates with iLO to allow the management of remote servers and the performance of remote console operations regardless of the state of the operating system or hardware.
The Deployment Server provides the ability to use the power management features of iLO to power on, power off, or cycle power on the target server. Each time a server connects to the Deployment Server, the Deployment Server polls the target server to see if a LOM management device is installed. If installed, the server gathers information including the DNS name, IP address, and first user name. Security is maintained by requiring the user to enter the correct password for that user name.
For more information about the ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack, refer to the documentation that ships on the ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack CD or the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/rdp
).

iLO browser interface overview

The iLO browser interface groups similar tasks for easy navigation and work flow. These tasks are grouped into high-level tabs across the top of the iLO interface. These tabs are always visible (for easy access) and include System Status, Remote Console, Virtual Media, Power Management, and Administration.
Each high-level iLO tab has a menu on the left side of the interface with various options. This menu changes every time you select a different high-level tab and reflects the options available within each high-level tab. Each menu option displays a page title, which is a description of the information or settings available on that page and might not reflect the name displayed on the menu option.
Assistance for all iLO pages is available through iLO Help. Links on each help page provide summary information about the features of iLO and helpful information to optimize its operation. To access page­specific help, click ? on the right side of the browser window.
Operational overview 11
Typical user tasks access the System Status, Remote Console, Virtual Media, and Power Management tabs of the iLO interface. These tasks are discussed in the "Using iLO (on page 66)" section of this user guide.
The Administration tab is typically used by an advanced or administrative user who must manage users, configure global and network settings, and configure or enable the more advanced functions of iLO. These tasks are discussed in the sections "Configuring iLO (on page 14)" and "iLO security (on page 53)" of this guide.
Specific subject areas of iLO functionality and integration are discussed in:
Directory services (on page 104)
Directory-enabled remote management (on page 134)
Certificate services (on page 141)
Lights-Out directories migration utilities (on page 143)

iLO configuration options

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 12) drivers be installed.
iLO offers several configuration options:
iLO RBSU (on page 14)
Browser-based setup (on page 15)
Remote scripted setup using CPQLOCFG
Local scripted deployment using CPQLODOS
Local on-line scripted setup using HPONCFG

iLO RBSU

HP recommends iLO RBSU to initially set up iLO and 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 on the network.
iLO RBSU is designed to assist you with setting up iLO on a network. iLO RBSU 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.
Configuring iLO 14
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.
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.

Browser-based setup

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.

Integration with RILOE II accessory boards

RILOE II is supported as an option in servers with iLO. Previous generations of the Remote Insight boards, such as the Remote Insight board/PCI and the original RILOE, are not supported in servers with iLO.
Configuring iLO 15
iLO firmware detects the presence of RILOE II and automatically disables iLO functionality. Additionally, if iLO firmware detects the presence of the original RILOE, and iLO displays an invalid configuration message.
To re-enable iLO functionality after a RILOE II is removed, use the Security Override Switch and iLO RBSU (on page 14). Select Settings>Enabled for the Enable Lights-Out functionality setting.

Network connection overview

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 corporate 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.
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.

Connect to the network

Typically iLO is connected to the network in one of two ways. iLO can be connected through a:
Configuring iLO 16
Corporate network where both ports are 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.
Dedicated management network where the iLO port is on a separate network.

Configure the IP address

This step is necessary only if you are using a static IP address. When using dynamic IP addressing, your DHCP server will automatically assign an IP address for iLO. HP recommends using DNS or DHCP with iLO to simplify installation
To configure a static IP address, use the iLO RBSU with 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.
3. 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.
Configuring iLO 17
4. 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.
5. Save the changes.
6. Exit iLO RBSU. The changes take effect when you exit iLO RBSU.

iLO diagnostic port configuration parameters
The iLO Diagnostic Port on the front of ProLiant BL p-Class servers enables you to access and troubleshoot server issues by using a diagnostic cable. The iLO Diagnostic Port uses a static IP address. It does not use DHCP to obtain an IP address, register with WINS or dynamic DNS, or use a gateway. The diagnostic port cable should not be left plugged in without an active network connection, as it will cause degraded network performance on the standard iLO network port.
In Network Settings, you can configure specific diagnostic port information. For more information on using the diagnostic port and the diagnostic cable, refer to the Setup and Installation Guide for the blade server.
The following are the fields that can be configured for the diagnostic port:
Enable NIC
If Enable NIC is set to Yes, the diagnostic port is enabled.
Transceiver Speed Autoselect
Speed
Duplex
IP Address
Use this parameter to assign a static IP address to iLO on your network. By default, the IP address is assigned by DHCP. By default, the IP address is 192.168.1.1 for all iLO Diagnostic Ports.
Configuring iLO 27
Subnet Mask
o Use the subnet mask parameter to assign the subnet mask for the iLO Diagnostic Port. By default,
the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 for all iLO Diagnostic Ports.
o The use of the diagnostic port is automatically sensed when an active network cable is plugged
in to it. When switching between the diagnostic and back ports, you must allow 90 seconds for the network switchover to complete before attempting connection through the Web browser.
NOTE: The diagnostic port will not switch over if an active Remote Console session or a
firmware update is in progress.
Recovering from a failed iLO firmware update
In the event that an iLO firmware update has failed, there are various recovery options. For all of these options, you need a current firmware image. HP does not recommended downgrading iLO firmware, and the version you have could be corrupt.
1. Download the latest iLO firmware. iLO downloads are available on the HP website
(http://h18004.www1.hp.com/support/files/lights-out/us/index.html
2. Determine if the update failed. a. Can you ping iLO?
).
b. Can you log in? c. Does the iLO Option ROM prompt appear during host POST? d. Are the iLO status LEDs strobing in a regular pattern? Examine the iLO status LEDs inside the
server to see if they are strobing in a regular pattern from LED 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. If the iLO LED pattern is visible, proceed to step 4.
3. Attempt to re-flash over the network.
You might be able to initiate a firmware update using RIBCL or a browser. If network flash failed, try the on-line flash component. Components are available for both
Windowst® and Linux.
4. If the on-line flash component failed, try the ROMPAQ diskette. a. Build the ROMPAQ diskettes and boot the host using disk 1. b. You might need to set the iLO Security Override Switch for ROMPAQ to succeed. Restore the
Security Override Switch after the flash process is complete.
