HP Systems Insight Manager 5.2 Update 2 Technical Reference Guide

support for SSH/CLP. SSH/CLP support is included in v1.70 or later of the iLO firmware . All iLO's can be
updated to this version or later.
NOTE: iLO2 support is only for ProLiant iLO’s and not for Integrity MP or Integrity iLO's.
NOTE: All current SSH connections to the intended target must be closed because iLO only supports two
(2) simultaneous connections at one time. It is recommended that no connections exist.
NOTE: Automatic collection of iLO licenses is no longer supported.
Many products (mostly HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) plug-ins) save their license information in the
License Manager database only. License information for these products is already available for viewing and
manipulation, and does not need to be collected with the Collect License Info feature. For these products,
there are no restrictions on the operating system of the CMS or selected system. Licensing information for
all product licenses recorded on remote systems is collected.
NOTE: For Linux and HP-UX CMS, you can only collect iLO and iLO2 keys. License information will not
be collected and stored as part of HP SIM Discovery and Identification for iLO and iLO2 targets. You are
provided with functionality to deploy and collect a PE license key to or from a selected iLO or iLO2 target.
All operations of License Manager can be accomplished on iLO with firmware v1.70 and later. License keys
for iLO2, older than 18 months, can only be collected but not deployed from HP SIM.
The Collect License Info functionality is disabled when you select a product with licensing information that
is managed and maintained exclusively by HP SIM and all licensing information is stored on the CMS.
Collect License Info is enabled to collect licenses for products where the license resides on the remote
target. If that target is not a management processor, a windows only based communication protocol is used.
iLO information requires SSH support to be included on HP SIM but has no operating system restrictions on
the CMS or target.
NOTE: You are no longer provided support or upgrade options by default. After July 9, 2007, all license
keys are included in a one year of 24 x 7 Software Technical Support and Update service. The License
manager will keep you informed as to which license keys are "support and update enabled" and which
license keys will require the purchase of future updates and upgrades.
