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” (page 19)

• “Advanced Pack License” (page 23)

• “Supported Systems and Required Components and Cables” (page 24)

• “iLO 2 MP Supported Browsers and Client Operating Systems” (page 24)

• “Security” (page 25)

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 tothe iLO 2 MP and isdriven byan 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 Through the iLO 2 MP MAC address LAN Using telnet, web, or SSH to access the iLO 2 MP LAN Local Serial Port Using a terminal or laptop computer for direct connection Web 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 DirectoryAccess Protocol- (LDAP) based directory services authenticationand 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

Power Control Access Right to power on, power off, or reset the server, and the

Local User Administration Access Right to configure locally stored user accounts. iLO 2 MP Configuration Access Right to configure all iLO 2 MP settings and some system

Virtual Media Access Enables Advanced Pack license users the right to use the

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.

settings, such as the power restore policy.

virtual media applet.

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:

http://www.hp.com/go/bizsupport.

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 SystemsInsight 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:

http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim.

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.

The advanced features require the iLO 2 MP Advanced Pack license. See “Advanced Pack License”

(page 23).

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 authenticationoccurs 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:

http://www.hp.com/go/ipm

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 AdvancedPack 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:

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 iLO 2 MP incorporates authentication techniques with the use of 128-bit

Authorization Using local accounts, iLO 2 MP enables you to define up to 19 separate

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 SA command.

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.

26 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” (page 27)

• “HP Integrity rx2660 Server Components” (page 29)

• “HP Integrity rx3600 and rx6600 Server Components” (page 29)

• “iLO 2 MP Reset Button” (page 31)

• “Console Serial Port and Auxiliary Serial Port” (page 31)

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, OnboardAdministrator 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:

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00705292/c00705292.pdf

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.
