Using iLO 3
The iLO 3 subsystem is a standard component of selected server blades that monitors blade health
and provides remote server manageability. The iLO 3 subsystem includes an intelligent
microprocessor, secure memory, and a dedicated network interface. This design makes iLO 3
independent of the host server and operating system. The iLO 3 subsystem provides remote access
to any authorized network client, sends alerts, and provides other server management functions.
Using iLO 3, you can:
• Remotely power on, power off, or reboot the host server.
• Subscribe to we-man alerts from iLO 3 regardless of the state of the host server.
• Access advanced troubleshooting features through the iLO 3 interface.
• Access Remote Console and vMedia functionality.
For more information about iLO 3 basic features, see the iLO 3 documentation on the HP website
(http://h20341.www2.hp.com/integrity/w1/en/software/integrity-lights-out.html?
jumpid=ex_r11294_us/en/large/tsg/go_integrityilo).
Accessing UEFI or the OS from iLO 3 MP
UEFI is an architecture that provides an interface between the server blade OS and the server
blade firmware. UEFI provides a standard environment for booting an OS and running preboot
applications.
Use this procedure to access UEFI or the OS from the iLO 3 MP. Your security parameters were
set regarding remote access.
1. Retrieve the factory iLO 3 password from the iLO 3 Network pull tag located on the right side
of the Monarch blade.
2. From the MP Main Menu, enter the co command to access the Console.
NOTE: Terminal windows should be set to a window size of 80 columns x 25 rows for
optimal viewing of the console at UEFI.
3. After memory test and CPU late self test the following message appears:
Press Ctrl-C now to bypass loading option ROM UEFI drivers.
The prompt will timeout if Ctrl-C is not pressed within a few seconds. If Ctrl-C is pressed, you
will be presented with two options:
• Bypass loading from I/O slots.
• Bypass loading from I/O slots and core I/O.
The Bypass loading from I/O slots and core I/O option may be useful if a bad core I/O
UEFI driver is preventing system boot. USB drives can still be used at the UEFI shell to
update core I/O drivers.
CAUTION: Hitting Ctrl-C before the prompt will not work and may even disable this
feature, be sure wait for the prompt before hitting Ctrl-C.
NOTE: It can take several minutes for this prompt to appear, and the window of time
when Ctrl-C can be pressed is very short. For typical boots, HP recommends that you let
the prompt time out.
After selecting an option, boot will proceed.
