HP ProLiant Lights-Out 100c Remote Management Cards Overview

Transcription

1 Overview LO100c are Remote Management cards for HP ProLiant 100 series servers which allow customers or their service providers to remotely manage ProLiant ML100 series servers as well as the HP ProLiant DL180 G5 and the HP ProLiant DL120 G5 regardless whether the server is located in the same building, across town, or around the globe. With LO100c, users can acquire complete remote control with Virtual KVM (graphical hardware-based, remote console). Users can also access the server's serial console, control system power, update system firmware and software, as well as monitor system environmental conditions. The LO100c remote management card can be accessed from a web browser or command line interface. This virtual "at-the-server" functionality means administrators stay in control of remote HP ProLiant 100 series servers that use LO100c. The HP Lights-Out100c consists of a management processor and firmware that provides cost-effective, entry-level lights-out functionality, basic system board management functions, and diagnostics. HP Lights-Out 100c is offered in several versions targeted to specific server generations and models.

Virtual Media LO100c Virtual Media allows mapping of floppy and CD ROM drives or images to a remote server for installing or updating firmware and software. Virtual Media saves time and increases efficiency by eliminating the need to visit remote servers to insert a floppy diskettes or CDs. Supported Media: Floppy drive CD ROM drive Image support Supported servers: HP ProLiant ML150 G3 HP ProLiant ML110 G4 HP ProLiant ML115 With version 3.0 and its updates, all the features of Version 2.10 are supported plus enhancements to virtual media with the addition of support for USB 2.0 and DVD-ROM drive. Supported servers: HP ProLiant DL120 G5 HP ProLiant DL180 G5 HP ProLiant ML110 G5 HP ProLiant ML115 G5 HP ProLiant ML150 G5 Secure Socket Layer and Secure Shell Security LO100c Remote Management Cards provide a secure remote management environment using industry standard protocols, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Secure Shell (SSH), for secure browser and command line access. SSL and SSH prevent unauthorized access to LO100 and protect data communicated over networks. Virtual Text Remote Console The HP Lights-Out 100c provides hardware remote console capabilities on a text mode screen. The operating system-independent console displays host server activities including POST messages, BIOS setup screens and text-based operating system consoles. Supported operating system consoles include the Linux system and the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Emergency Services (EMS) console.

3 Standard Features Web browser interface HP Lights-Out 100c is fully accessible by means of Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 or greater (Windows clients), Firefox 1.5 (Windows and Linux clients) and Mozilla (Windows and Linux clients). This capability allows easy access to the features of HP Lights-Out 100c from standard browsers with no additional client software installed. Command line interface HP Lights-Out 100c is accessible using the industry standard command line: System Management Architecture for Server Hardware Command Line Protocol (SMASH CLP), over Telnet and SSH connections. Lights-Out 100 management processors can be configured, updated, and operated using commands defined in the SMASH CLP specification from the Desktop Management Task Force (DMTF). Environmental monitoring HP Lights-Out 100c enables remote operating system-independent monitoring of system temperature and fans via the browser and command line interfaces. System Event Log HP Lights-Out 100c provides browser and command line access to the System Event Log providing visibility to records of system resets and system power loss. Network connectivity LO100c supports a dedicated connection for the Virtual KVM and Virtual Media features. The dedicated NIC also allows customers to isolate management processor access on a separate network or to provide an alternate path in the event the system NIC is not available. The shared NIC feature (also known as sideband support) is not available on all ProLiant 100 series servers that use the LO100c cards. For example, this capability is not available on ML100 series Generation 5 as well as the HP ProLiant DL180 G5 and DL120 G5 servers. LO100c shared NIC support is available for the HP ProLiant ML150 G3, ML110 G4, and ML115 servers with Version 2.10 firmware. System Management Integration HP Systems Insight Manager discovers HP Lights-Out 100 management processors and provides convenient links to launch it from a browser. This centralized access simplifies management in environments with large numbers of HP ProLiant 100 Series servers with Lights-Out 100c deployed at remote sites. Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) HP Lights-Out 100c supports IPMI 2.0 enabling centralized management via compliant management consoles.
