Configuring iLO 2

iLO 2 configuration overview

Typically, an advanced or administrative user who must manage users and configure global and network
settings configures iLO 2. You can configure iLO 2 using the iLO 2 browser-based GUI or scripting tools
such as CPQLOCFG and HPONCFG (described in the HP Integrated Lights-Out Management Processor
Scripting and Command Line Resource Guide.)
The iLO 2 Administration tab enables you to configure and manage user settings, SNMP alerting (through
integration with HP SIM), security settings, licensing, certificate administration, directory settings, and
network environment settings. The Administration tab includes the following menu options:
•

Upgrading iLO 2 firmware

Firmware upgrades enhance the functionality of iLO 2. You can find the latest firmware on the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/servers/lights-out). Select your iLO 2 product and then select Software & Drivers.
After the software and drivers page appears, select your iLO 2 product and operating system, and then
click Locate Software. You can also locate your iLO 2 software by selecting the Operating System and
Category options.
You must have the Configure iLO 2 privilege (configure local device settings) to update the firmware
unless you set then the security override switch
43). If the security override switch is set, any iLO 2 user can update the firmware. You must run firmware
updates from an Administrator or root context on the host operating system.
To update the iLO 2 choose one of the following methods:
•
Online firmware update—Download the appropriate operating system component and run it from
the Administrator or root context of the operating system. The online firmware update software runs
on the host operating system and updates the iLO 2 firmware without requiring you to log in to iLO
2.
•
Offline firmware update for SmartStart maintenance—Download the iLO 2 firmware image file you
plan to install and see the section, "Upgrading iLO 2 using a browser (on page 25)."
