user interface but not from the BladeSystem Onboard Administrator. Expanded vMedia Flash support will be available in a future iLO 3 firmware release. NOTE: If iLO 3 MP is reset, Integrity iLO 3 vMedia is disconnected. HP does not recommend using iLO 3 vMedia with firmware update tools such as HPOFM, which reset the MP midway through the update process. Power Meter and Power Regulator The iLO power meter readings feature enables you to graphically view and monitor server power usage, temperature, and power regulator settings. You can see the Power Meter Regulator graphs from the iLO 3 web GUI. The iLO 3 also shares information with Insight Power Manager. Integrity iLO Power Regulator enables you to manually set the power efficiency level for the server. Integrity iLO power regulation works in cooperation with a power-aware OS such as HP-UX 11iv3. The Power Regulator feature is available on systems where support is provided by the operating system, processors, PDH (processor dependant hardware), SFW (System Firmware), and iLO firmware. • For both server blades and entry-rack servers, use the SS command from the MP CLI interface for an instantaneous power reading. • For server blades, use the web GUI Server Status page to obtain current power usage and ambient temperature. HP Insight Control power management HP Insight Control power management, a plug-in to HP SIM, is an integrated power monitoring and management application that provides centralized control of server power consumption and thermal output. Integrity iLO 3 v1.00 with built-in Advanced license is integrated with Insight Control power management for power monitoring. Insight Control-initiated power regulation will be supported in a future iLO 3 firmware release. For other operating systems, Insight Control 6.1 licenses can be applied to enable power management on Integrity servers. Information on HP Insight power management is available on the HP website at http://www.hp.com/go/insight. iLO 3 Advanced Pack licensing Advanced Pack licenses are built into every system that has Integrity iLO 3, no additional licensing is required. Multi-bladed Integrity servers, such as BL870c i2 and BL890c i2, contain multiple iLOs and each iLO contains a model-based iLO Advanced license key. This means that in multi-bladed servers, if individual blades are reordered or replaced, then the iLO Advanced keys do not have to be transferred or reapplied as all blades in that model contain identical model-based Integrity iLO keycodes. 14 Introduction

Power Meter and Power Regulator
The iLO power meter readings feature enables you to graphically view and monitor server power
usage, temperature, and power regulator settings.
You can see the Power Meter Regulator graphs from the iLO 3 web GUI. The iLO 3 also shares
information with Insight Power Manager. Integrity iLO Power Regulator enables you to manually
set the power efficiency level for the server. Integrity iLO power regulation works in cooperation
with a power-aware OS such as HP-UX 11iv3.
The Power Regulator feature is available on systems where support is provided by the operating
system, processors, PDH (processor dependant hardware), SFW (System Firmware), and iLO
firmware.
•
For both server blades and entry-rack servers, use the
SS
command from the MP CLI interface
for an instantaneous power reading.
•
For server blades, use the web GUI Server Status page to obtain current power usage and
ambient temperature.
HP Insight Control power management
HP Insight Control power management, a plug-in to HP SIM, is an integrated power monitoring
and management application that provides centralized control of server power consumption and
thermal output. Integrity iLO 3 v1.00 with built-in Advanced license is integrated with Insight Control

iLO 3 Advanced Pack licensing
Advanced Pack licenses are built into every system that has Integrity iLO 3, no additional licensing
is required. Multi-bladed Integrity servers, such as BL870c i2 and BL890c i2, contain multiple iLOs
and each iLO contains a model-based iLO Advanced license key. This means that in multi-bladed
servers, if individual blades are reordered or replaced, then the iLO Advanced keys do not have
to be transferred or reapplied as all blades in that model contain identical model-based Integrity
iLO keycodes.
