logging in to the iLO 2 MP and authorization is given each time an iLO 2 MP command runs.
This provides a centralized database (LDAP server) of all user accounts and avoids the overhead
of creating users in each iLO 2 MP.
Directory authentication occurs by enabling Extended Schema or Default Schema. When Extended
Schema is used, the schema in the directory server must be extended. When Default Schema is
selected, schema extension is not needed.
LDAP Lite
LDAP Lite enables you to use directory authentication to log in to the iLO 2 MP without having
to do any schema extension on the directory server or snap-in installation on the client. In addition
to general directory integration benefits, iLO 2 MP schema-free integration provides the following:
•
Minimal maintenance and administration
•
Reliable security
•
Complements two-factor authentication
Not extending the schema on the directory server means the directory server does not know
anything about the iLO 2 MP object or privileges, and the only thing the iLO 2 MP queries from
the directory server is to authenticate the user name and password.
Power Meter Readings
The power meter readings feature enables you to graphically view and monitor server power
usage, temperature, and power regulator settings.
HP Insight Power Manager
HP Insight Power Manager (HP IPM), a plug-in to HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM), is an
integrated power monitoring and management application that provides centralized control of
server power consumption and thermal output. It extends the unified infrastructure management
framework of HP SIM by providing new energy levers into the server.
Leveraging HP power regulator technology, HP IPM makes policy-based power and thermal
management possible by enabling you to view and modify the power efficiency regulator mode
of the system. It expands the capacity of data centers by reducing the amount of power and
cooling required for supported Integrity servers and the server blades.
