MP Configuration Access Virtual Media Access Right to configure all iLO 2 MP settings and some system settings, such as the power restore policy. Enables Advanced Pack license users the right to use the virtual media applet. Multiple Users Multiple users can interact with iLO 2. However, iLO 2 command mode and console mode are mirrored, allowing only one user at a time to have write access to the shared console. When a command is completed, write access is released and any user can initiate another command. IMPORTANT: Although iLO 2 can support multiple simultaneous connections, to do so can impact performance. HP does not recommend running more than eight simultaneous connections. Integrity iLO 2 supports the following connections simultaneously: • Four web (each web connection can have a remote serial console connection as well and not be counted as part of the total number of connections allowed) • Eight SSH • One local console serial port (RS-232) • Four IPMI over LAN • Four Telnet • One Integrated Remote Console • One vMedia IPMI over LAN The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) option provides direct access from the MP LAN port to the server Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) monitoring and controlling functions such as temperature, voltage, fans, and power supplies. IPMI defines a common interface for platform management hardware. With IPMI over LAN enabled, BMC functions are available to other management software applications. This enables you to write your own customizable management applications using IPMI v1.5. iLO 2 supports up to four simultaneous IPMI over LAN connections. Currently, there is no capability to manage the IPMI user name or password in the iLO 2 command line or web interfaces. There is only the ability to enable or disable access with IPMI through the SA command. To set a user name or password using the IPMI over LAN interface, you can use an IPMI tool. HP does not recommend any particular IPMI tools. IMPORTANT: IPMI traffic is unencrypted, just like Telnet traffic is unencrypted. Also, at initial enablement, there is no password, and the IPMI over LAN port is insecure. For more information on IPMI, see the Intel website at: http://developer.intel.com/design/servers/ipmi System Management Homepage The HP Insight Management Agents support a web interface for access to runtime management data through the HP System Management Homepage. The HP System Management Homepage is a secure web-based interface that consolidates and simplifies the management of individual servers and operating systems. By aggregating data from HP Insight Management Agents and other management tools, the System Management Homepage provides an intuitive interface to review in-depth hardware configuration and status data, performance metrics, system thresholds, and software version control information.

settings, such as the power restore policy.
Virtual Media Access
Enables Advanced Pack license users the right to use the
virtual media applet.
Multiple Users
Multiple users can interact with iLO 2. However, iLO 2 command mode and console mode are
mirrored, allowing only one user at a time to have write access to the shared console. When a
command is completed, write access is released and any user can initiate another command.
IMPORTANT:
Although iLO 2 can support multiple simultaneous connections, to do so can
impact performance. HP does not recommend running more than eight simultaneous connections.
Integrity iLO 2 supports the following connections simultaneously:
•
Four web (each web connection can have a remote serial console connection as well and not
be counted as part of the total number of connections allowed)
•
Eight SSH
•
One local console serial port (RS-232)
•
Four IPMI over LAN
•
Four Telnet
•
One Integrated Remote Console
•
One vMedia
IPMI over LAN
The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) option provides direct access from the
MP LAN port to the server Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) monitoring and controlling
functions such as temperature, voltage, fans, and power supplies. IPMI defines a common
interface for platform management hardware. With IPMI over LAN enabled, BMC functions are
available to other management software applications. This enables you to write your own
customizable management applications using IPMI v1.5. iLO 2 supports up to four simultaneous
IPMI over LAN connections.
Currently, there is no capability to manage the IPMI user name or password in the iLO 2 command
line or web interfaces. There is only the ability to enable or disable access with IPMI through the
SA
command.
To set a user name or password using the IPMI over LAN interface, you can use an IPMI tool.
HP does not recommend any particular IPMI tools.
IMPORTANT:
IPMI traffic is unencrypted, just like Telnet traffic is unencrypted. Also, at initial
enablement, there is no password, and the IPMI over LAN port is insecure.
