Standard Features

HP ProLiant Onboard Administrator Powered by Lights-Out 100i Standard Features
Remote Serial Console	LO100i standard provides access to the host server's serial, text-based console over an Ethernet network. From the operating system-independent console you can access BIOS and POST screens during startup as well as Microsoft Emergency Management Services on systems running Windows Server 2003 and 2008 and serial tty sessions on systems running Linux operating systems.

Virtual Power Button	Using a supported browser interface or command line, HP Lights-Out 100i can be used to remotely operate the power button of a host. For example, if the host server is off, you can turn it on from HP Lights-Out 100i. You can also power off and on the server in one step.

Remote environmental monitoring

Remote environmental monitoring with HP ProLiant 100 Series G6 servers
With the introduction of HP ProLiant 100 series G6 servers, LO100i has similar integration to HP Systems Insight Manager as HP ProLiant 300 series and above; so remote environmental monitoring is available. Through SNMP agents; processor information and indicators are monitored as well as memory information and indicators. Other capabilities are

The ability to monitor PCI devices and system slot info; sensor info and indications, including redundancy, fans, temperature sensors, power supplies, ASR, and unit ID visual indicators, and computer system info, including physical location, IML, system ROM, and aggregate system status.
Network agents give information on the network controller and indications
Storage agents give info for information on the storage controller and indications
Indications (Alerts) are logged to system event logs

HP ProLiant 100 series Insight Management agents are more limited than on HP ProLiant 300 series and above; hence environmental monitoring is more limited since the LO100i can only report what is provided to it; e.g.:

Health monitoring is limited to disk, fans, network, power supplies and temperature. (HP ProLiant 300 series and above have additional capabilities in the areas of memory, processors, fan redundancy, hardware logs, power metering, NMI logging as well as monitoring pre-failure thresholds.)
Alerting for HP ProLiant 100 series provides basic alert notification. (HP ProLiant 300 Series and above have additional protection of critical server components by providing pre-failure alert notifications on memory, processors, and storage.)
HP ProLiant 100 & 300 series and above provide the same performance monitoring capabilities by providing info on CPU, Memory, Disk free space, Network Utilization and I/O.

Remote environmental monitoring with earlier generation models
HP Lights-Out 100i enables operating system-independent remote monitoring of system temperature, fans and voltage via the browser and command line interfaces.

Browser access

HP Lights-Out 100i is fully accessible by means of Microsoft® Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 (Windows clients), Internet Explorer 7.0 SP1 on Windows Vista clients with Windows Vista hot fix support, Firefox 1.5 (Windows and Linux clients) and Mozilla 1.7.12 (Windows and Linux clients) or later. This capability allows easy access to the features of HP Lights-Out 100i from standard browsers. LO100i Advanced provides Secure Socket Layer security as a standard feature for HP ProLiant 100 series G6 servers or as an upgrade option (G3 and G5) to protect data communication.

Command line access	HP Lights-Out 100i is accessible using the industry standard command line, System Management Architecture for Server Hardware Command Line Protocol (SMASH CLP) over a Telnet or serial interface. LO100i Advanced provides Secure Shell security as a standard feature (HP ProLiant 100 series G6 servers) or as an upgrade option to protect data communication.

IP Configuration	HP Lights-Out LO100i supports static IP addresses and automatic network configuration using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

User Accounts	HP Lights-Out LO100i supports fifteen operator user accounts with four privilege levels including administrator, operator, OEM, and user with designated roles for each. The administrator account allows access to all commands and configuration options. The operator account allows execution of all commands but prevents access to user account and LO100i configuration.

System Event Log	HP Lights-Out LO100i captures and stores the IPMI event log for access via browser or command line even when the server is not operational. This capability can be helpful when troubleshooting remote host server problems.

Network Connectivity

HP Lights-Out LO100i is accessible via a shared system NIC or via a dedicated management NIC (this may vary by server model). The shared NIC allows connectivity to the management processor for LO100i features only without an extra port for each server. In addition to support for the licensable Virtual KVM and Virtual Media features, the dedicated NIC allows customers to isolate management processor access on a separate network or just provide an alternate path in the event the system NIC is not available.

Integration with HP Systems Insight Manager

Integration with HP Systems Insight Manager with HP ProLiant 100 Series G6 servers
With the introduction of HP ProLiant 100 series G6 servers, LO100i has similar integration to HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM) that is available on HP ProLiant 300 series and above because these servers now offer the HP Insight Management Agents, a well established management and Internet standard that provides these basic capabilities:

Server Agents
- Processor information and indications
- Memory information and indications
- PCI devices and system slot info
- Sensor info and indications, including redundancy, fans, temperature sensors, power supplies, ASR, and unit ID visual indicator
- Computer system info, including physical location, IML, system ROM, and aggregate system status
Network Agents

Network controller info and indications

Storage Agents

Smart Array storage controller info and indications

Indications (Alerts) are logged to system event logs

NOTE: HP ProLiant 100 series Insight Management Agents are more limited than on HP ProLiant 300 series and above; consequently LO100i will only report what is provided to it. Health monitoring is limited to disk, fans, network, power supplies and temperature. Alerting for HP ProLiant 100 series provides basic alert notification. HP ProLiant 100 & 300 series and above provide the same performance monitoring capabilities, however, by providing info on CPU, memory, disk free space, network utilization and I/O.

Integration with HP Systems Insight Manager with earlier generation models
Integration with HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM) is limited for LO100i with the earlier HP ProLiant 100 series Generations prior to G6 servers. HP Systems Insight Manager is able to discover and associate HP Lights-Out 100i management processors and provides links to launch it from a browser. This centralized access simplifies management in environments with large numbers of HP ProLiant 100 Series servers with Lights-Out 100i deployed at remote sites.

Optional Features

HP ProLiant Onboard Administrator Powered by Lights-Out 100i Advanced Pack Features
Virtual KVM graphic console	LO100i graphical consoles provide Virtual KVM capabilities with KVM over IP performance. This gives system administrators a single console that is responsive and agile for both in-band and out-of-band server administration. LO100i Virtual KVM works with a standard browser and no additional software (other than a Java runtime environment) is required for operation.

Virtual Media

Version 4.0 for the HP ProLiant 100 series G6 servers supports all the features of the V2.1 and V3.0. It is offered in Advanced Pack licenses only.

With Version 3.0, the features of Version 2.10 are supported plus enhancements to virtual media with the addition of support for USB 2.0 and DVD-ROM drives. Servers supported are all HP ProLiant DL100 G5 servers that have the embedded remote management processor and support the LO100i Advanced Licenses.

Version 2.0 supports LO100i Virtual Media on Advanced and Select licenses and allows a floppy diskette image or ISO 9660 image on a client PC to appear locally connected to a remote server with a LO100i management processor. The Virtual Media features save time and increase efficiency by eliminating the need to visit servers in datacenters and remote sites just to insert a diskette or CD to update software or firmware. Servers supported are the HP ProLiant DL140 G3 and DL145 G3.

Secure Socket Layer and Secure Shell Security

HP Lights-Out 100i Advanced provides a secure remote management environment using industry standards, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Secure Shell (SSH), to secure public and private network communication with the LO100i management processor using browser and command line access. SSL and SSH prevent unauthorized access to LO100i and protect data communicated over networks. This upgrade is recommended to ensure secure network communication over Internet links when using any LO100i features. These features become standard with the HP ProLiant 100 series G6 servers.

Compatibility
HP ProLiant 100 Series Servers	Embedded LO100i Version 4.0 and its Advanced licenses are compatible with all HP ProLiant G6 servers. Embedded LO100i Version 3.0 and its Advanced licenses are compatible with the HP ProLiant DL160 G5, DL165 G5 and DL185 G5 servers. Embedded LO100i Version 2.10 and its Advanced and Select licenses are compatible with the HP ProLiant DL140 G3 and DL145 G3 servers.
