Standard Features

HP ProLiant Onboard Administrator/Integrated Lights-Out 2 Standard Features
Advanced Server Management (ASM)	The HP ProLiant Onboard Administrator/Integrated Lights-Out 2 management ASIC includes all of the Health and Wellness features of the Advanced Server Management controller. The Health drivers interface with the HP ProLiant OA/ iLO 2 ASIC to provide system management support, including monitoring of server components, event logging, and support for the Management Agents.

Alert Administration	HP ProLiant Onboard Administrator/Integrated Lights-Out 2 support delivery of SNMP server agent alerts as well as internally generated management processor alerts (e.g. unsuccessful login attempt), to a management console such as HP Systems Insight Manager. Traps forwarded by the processor can be configured in Insight Manager for delivery to an administrator's pager or e-mail.

Auto-Configuration of IP Address using DNS/DHCP

HP ProLiant Onboard Administrator/Integrated Lights-Out 2 provides automatic network configuration. A default name and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client that leases an IP address from the DHCP server on the network are standard with HP ProLiant OA/ iLO 2. This allows the management processor to register its device name with Domain Name Services (DNS) and Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS). For systems that do not use DNS/DHCP, IP configuration is also supported.

Automated Group Administration & Actions

Integrated Lights-Out 2 group administration automates configuring and managing large deployments of Integrated Lights-Out 2 processors. Using iLO2's extensive scripting language with HP Lights-Out Configuration Utility or the HP Lights-Out Online Configuration Utility, an administrator can easily configure all settings, control all functions and activate the ProLiant Essentials iLO Advanced Pack license keys simultaneously on multiple HP ProLiant OA/ iLO 2 processors. With a batch process or HP System Insight Manager's powerful device query mechanism, these utilities enable scalable use and management of HP ProLiant OA/ iLO 2.

Auxiliary Power	Because the HP ProLiant Onboard Administrator/Integrated Lights-Out 2 management processor obtains its power from the auxiliary power plane of the server, it is always on when the server is plugged into a power source. If the server provides Redundant Power Supplies (RPS) then HP ProLiant OA/iLO 2 will use redundant power and will continue operation in the event of a power supply failure.

Blade Setup Wizard

An HP BladeSystem setup wizard is embedded in the HP ProLiant OA/ iLO 2 browser. This provides a simple four step process to setup your blades: verify the server RAID setting, connect to virtual media with a SmartStart or OS install CD/DVD image and reboot the server while opening remote console to observe the deployment. This dramatically simplifies initial server setup using a client connected to the blade via an enclosure I/O cable or over the network.

Diagnostic Port & POST LED Indicator

For convenient walk-up access or in the event that some portion of the network is down and the administrator cannot reach the Integrated lights-Out through the network, the p-class blade is equipped with an "iLO Diagnostic Port" that guarantees access to Integrated Lights-Out. The Integrated Lights-Out has been designed to provide feedback during the POST process as a blade system does not include a directly attached monitor. The Integrated Lights-Out blinks the Server Health LED during the boot process to enable the onsite administrator the results of the POST process.
