Virtual Indicators; Proliant Bl P-Class Advanced Management - HP Integrated Lights-Out User Manual

Do not attempt to upgrade the iLO firmware from a ROMPaq diskette using the iLO Virtual Floppy. If you
attempt to remotely upgrade iLO using ROMPaq, iLO resets and you will lose the connection. iLO will not
reconnect. Using the browser to upgrade iLO remotely makes the lost connection temporary and you are
automatically reconnected. HP recommends remotely upgrading the iLO firmware using the Upgrade iLO
Firmware option on the Administration tab.

ProLiant BL p-Class Advanced management

iLO Advanced is a standard component of ProLiant BL p-Class server blades that provides server health
and remote server blade manageability. Its features are accessed from a network client device using a
supported Web browser. In addition to other features, iLO Advanced provides keyboard, mouse, and
video (text and graphics) capability for a server blade, regardless of the state of the host operating system
or host server blade.
iLO includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory, and a dedicated network interface. This
design makes iLO independent of the host server blade and its operating system. iLO provides remote
access to any authorized network client, sends alerts, and provides other server blade management
functions.
Using a supported Web browser, you can:
Remotely access the console of the host server blade, including all text mode and graphics mode
screens with full keyboard and mouse controls.
Remotely power up, power down, or reboot the host server blade.
Remotely boot a host server blade to a virtual diskette image to perform a ROM upgrade or install
an operating system.
Send alerts from iLO Advanced regardless of the state of the host server blade.
Access advanced troubleshooting features provided by iLO Advanced.
Launch a Web browser, use SNMP alerting, and diagnose the server blade using HP Systems Insight
Manager.
Configure static IP bay settings for the dedicated iLO management NICs on each server blade in an
enclosure for faster deployment.
