in-depth hardware configuration and status data, performance metrics, system thresholds, and software version control information. Firmware Upgrades Firmware upgrades enhance the functionality of iLO 2. The MP firmware is packaged along with system, BMC, and FPGA/PSOC firmware. You can download and upgrade the firmware package from the HP website at http://www.hp.com/go/ bizsupport. Select Download drivers and software, select your server, and follow the instructions provided. TIP: Before performing certain iLO 2 functions, verify that you have the supported firmware version required to carry out the task. Internal Subsystem Information Integrity iLO 2 displays information about the following internal subsystems: • FRU information • System power state and fan status • Processor Status DHCP and DNS Support Integrity iLO 2 supports the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and the Domain Name System (DNS) configuration options for acquiring network information through the MP LAN port. When iLO 2 starts, it acquires the port configuration stored on a DHCP server to assign an IP address to the MP LAN port. If DNS is configured, this information is updated on the DNS server. The simplest method to initially connect to iLO 2 is with the default DNS name found on the iLO Network Information Tag on the server, for example, mp0014c29c064f. Group Actions Integrity iLO 2 integrates with HP SIM, HP OpenView, and third-party management tools. Group Actions Using HP SIM HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) is a system-level management tool that supports executing commands from HP SIM using the SSH interface. HP SIM enables you to perform similar management activities across multiple iLO 2s (group actions) without requiring you to access each iLO 2 individually. Group actions are launched from the HP SIM GUI and are supported at all times, regardless of the server power state. You can download HP SIM from the HP website. For more information about HP SIM, see the HP website at http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim. For the user guide, see the Information Library. SNMP The SNMP is part of the TCP/IP protocol suit developed to manage servers on an IP network. SNMP enables you to manage network performance, find and solve network problems, and plan for network growth. SMASH Server Management Architecture for Server Hardware (SMASH) is an initiative by the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) that encompasses specifications (Server Management CLP, SM ME Addressing, SM Profiles) that address the interoperable manageability requirements of small to large scale heterogeneous computer environments. 20 Introduction to iLO 2
