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. Firmware upgrades Firmware upgrades enhance the functionality of iLO 3. The iLO 3 MP firmware and system firmware is remotely upgradeable from an HTTP/HTTPS source. Integrity iLO 3 has direct system firmware updating capability. To easily update system firmware without OS assistance, even while the OS is running or the server power is off, use HP SUM, or iLO 3 directly. Internal subsystem information Integrity iLO 3 displays information about the following internal subsystems: • FRU information • System power state and fan status • Processor Status DHCP and DNS support Integrity iLO 3 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 3 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, then this information is updated on the DNS server. The simplest method to connect for the first time to iLO 3 is with the default DNS name, for example ilo0014c39c064f. You can find the default DNS name on the iLO Network Information Tag. NOTE: • On server blades, the iLO Network Information Tag is located on the right side of the monarch blade. • On the HP Integrity rx2800 i2 server, the iLO Network Information Tag is located on the front panel. Group actions Integrity iLO 3 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 running commands from HP SIM using the SSH interface. HP SIM enables you to perform similar management activities across multiple iLO 3s (group actions) without requiring you to access each iLO 3 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 SNMP is not currently supported in iLO 3. 12 Introduction

Firmware upgrades
Firmware upgrades enhance the functionality of iLO 3.
The iLO 3 MP firmware and system firmware is remotely upgradeable from an HTTP/HTTPS source.
Integrity iLO 3 has direct system firmware updating capability. To easily update system firmware
without OS assistance, even while the OS is running or the server power is off, use HP SUM, or
iLO 3 directly.
Internal subsystem information
Integrity iLO 3 displays information about the following internal subsystems:
•
FRU information
•
System power state and fan status
•
Processor Status
DHCP and DNS support
Integrity iLO 3 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 3 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, then this information is updated on the DNS
server. The simplest method to connect for the first time to iLO 3 is with the default DNS name, for
example
ilo0014c39c064f
. You can find the default DNS name on the iLO Network Information
Tag.
NOTE:
•
On server blades, the iLO Network Information Tag is located on the right side of the monarch
blade.
•
On the HP Integrity rx2800 i2 server, the iLO Network Information Tag is located on the front
panel.
