Integrated Lights-Out technology: enhancing the manageability of ProLiant servers technology brief

Figure 8. This diagram shows the HP iLO 2 device list accessible using HP Systems Insight Manager.
Power monitor
Using the Insight Power Manager plug-in, administrators can track overall power use from multiple
servers and use this information to set power caps on groups of servers.
Single sign-on from HP SIM to iLO
HP SIM can provide single sign-on capabilities to iLO, allowing administrators to browse directly from
HP SIM to iLO, bypassing an intermediate login step. Single-sign-on requires HP SIM v 5.1 or greater
(with the HP SIM iLO 2 Single Sign-on Update), and requires configuring the iLO processor to accept
the links from HP SIM.
Refer to the HP website,
www.hp.com/go/hpsim, for more information about HP Systems Insight
Manager. The HP SIM iLO 2 Single Sign-on update is available on the HP website at

Integration with deployment tools
Administrators commonly use different deployment tools, depending on what type of servers they are
deploying:
• HP
ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack (RDP)
7
for Windows-based servers
• HP
Insight Control Linux Edition
8
for Linux-based servers
Both these tools use the HP
SmartStart Scripting Toolkit

and iLO capabilities so that administrators
can configure iLO processors or use iLO capabilities to configure servers. Details about these tools are
