HP BladeSystem c-Class Advanced management iLO 2 is a standard component of ProLiant c-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 2 provides keyboard, mouse, and video (text and graphics) capability for a server blade, regardless of the state of the host OS or host server blade. iLO 2 includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory, and a dedicated network interface. This design makes iLO 2 independent of the host server blade and its OS. iLO 2 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 media image to perform a ROM upgrade or install an OS. • Send alerts from iLO 2 regardless of the state of the host server blade. • Access advanced troubleshooting features provided by iLO 2. • Launch a web browser, use SNMP alerting, and diagnose the server blade with HP SIM.
