HP ProLiant DL585 G7 server technology

into and unleashes the HP iLO Advanced technology, a set of licensed embedded management

capabilities that enhances the remote management experience.

 Measure power consumption accurately, reduce power usage, and reclaim trapped power

and cooling capacity to extend the life of their existing data centers

 Support all leading hypervisors, such as Microsoft Hyper-V, VMware vSphere, and Citrix

XenServer. You also have the option of Linux-based Central Management Console -Insight

Control for Linux for IT shops requiring full-Linux management.

HP Integrated Lights-Out 3 (iLO 3)

As previously noted, the HP ProLiant DL585 G7 server comes with iLO 3. An HP Advanced license

(included with the HP Insight Control software or can be purchased separately) upgrades the iLO

firmware, enhancing your remote management experience.

The iLO 3 hardware and firmware provide remote server management capabilities over Ethernet.

Since the iLO 3 management processor obtains its power from the auxiliary power plane of the

server, it is always available when you plug in the server. This is great news when it comes to remote

troubleshooting.

HP iLO 3 connects through a dedicated Ethernet port. This port can connect to a highly secured,

dedicated management network that is out of the server’s data path. Alternately, iLO 3 provides a

Shared Network Port (SNP) that allows network access to both iLO and the host server using a single

network port. SNP routes iLO network traffic through a sideband connection on one of the server NIC

interfaces. Although the iLO traffic shares a port with the server OS traffic, both the iLO processor and

the server NIC have their own Media Access Control (MAC) address, which gives iLO and the server

separate Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Using the SNP simplifies hardware installation and reduces

overall hardware costs, because both corporate and iLO network traffic comes through the system

NIC.

Using iLO 3

With iLO 3, you can:

 Reduce expense and travel costs by accessing a high-performance, secure Remote Console to

the server from anywhere in the world

 Use the shared iLO 3 Remote Console to collaborate with up to six server administrators

 Remotely mount high-performance Virtual Media devices to the server from anywhere on the

network

 Securely and remotely control the power state of the managed server

 Send alerts from iLO 3 regardless of the state of the host server

 Access advanced troubleshooting features through the iLO 3 interface

 Experience a fast Remote Console incorporating the newest technologies like Simple Network

Time Protocol (SNTP) and IPMI over LAN (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) DCMI

(Data Center Manageability Interface)

 Launch URL or scriptable Virtual Media from Remote Console

 Experience a streamlined user interface using Web 2.0 technologies

 Experience AES (in addition to RC4) encryption in the hardware for improved performance
