Integrated Lights-Out 3 technology

 Browser-based web interface

 Local iLO 3 ROM-based setup utility (RBSU) when the system environment does not use DHCP, DNS, or

WINS

 Text-based commands to the SMASH SM CLP through SSH and the virtual serial port

 Scripted configuration using Lights-Out configuration utilities and RIBCL/XML or Perl scripts

You can use RIBCL/XML or Perl scripts for configuring multiple iLO processors (for example, configuring

network settings, user accounts, or updating firmware). You can also use scripts to deploy a standard

configuration onto a single server, for extracting information such as event logs or BIOS records, or for

automated deployments. You can use the same script from within the OS (on-line) as well as over the

network (remotely). See

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00294268/c00294268.pdf for

more information about scripting.

Conclusion

iLO 3 provides you with an autonomous management subsystem that implements secure remote

management capabilities, regardless of server status or location. iLO 3 provides alerts, server status,

power information, power management, and remote control capabilities to diagnose OS or server

problems remotely. The features in iLO 3 combine to help you meet demands for IT efficiency and

responsiveness, especially in corporate data centers.

By purchasing an iLO Advanced license or purchasing Insight Control, you can take advantage of the full

functionality of iLO 3, the HP ProLiant lifecycle management solution. Refer to
