HP ProLiant Intel-based 100-series G6 servers

Figure 6 indicates that the ML100-series G6 and DL120 G6 servers have a dedicated Ethernet
management port. This port cannot be used by the system network.

Dedicated NIC ML100 G6 & DL120 G6
Configuration
The ML100 series G6/DL120 G6 ships
with a dedicated NIC port for
management. This NIC port can be
connected to the system network, or to a
separate management network. Virtual
KVM and Virtual Media are supported
in dedicated NIC configurations.
IPMI 2.0 and DCMI 1.0
ProLiant 100-series G6 servers and LO100i conform to IPMI 2.0 and DCMI 1.0 standards so that
customers in heterogeneous environments can manage these servers with either industry standard.
The following are basic compliance mandates:
 The implementation of all mandatory IPMI 2.0 and DCMI 1.0 in-band and out-of-band commands
 Reliable local and remote power on/off/reset through IPMI chassis commands
 Per IPMI 2.0, console redirection over telnet or SSH
 Identification of the server by device ID, globally unique identifier (GUID), asset tag, and chassis ID
 Accurate System Event Logging using IPMI
 Reliable in-band keyboard controller style (KCS) interface and out-of-band LAN interface

Server deployment
Prior to G6, ProLiant 100-series server administrators could not deploy servers using methods similar
to 300 series servers. The Easy Set-up CD now provides a user experience similar to SmartStart with
deployment tools that reduce the time required for server setup and updates.
Easy Set-up CDs and their ISO images are provided with each ProLiant G6 100-series server and are
used to perform assisted installations for one or two servers. Users performing multi-server installations
involving large numbers of servers require the following deployment tools:
 Software Smart Components — Self-executable software consisting of driver and software
