Integrated Lights-Out 2 technology The iLO 2 subsystem is a standard component of selected ProLiant servers that provides server health and remote server manageability. The iLO 2 subsystem includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory, and a dedicated network interface. This design makes iLO 2 independent of the host server and its operating system. The iLO 2 subsystem provides remote access to any authorized network client, sends alerts, and provides other server management functions. Using iLO 2, you can: • Remotely power up, power down, or reboot the host server. • Send alerts from iLO 2 regardless of the state of the host server. • Access advanced troubleshooting features through the iLO 2 interface. • Diagnose iLO 2 using HP SIM through a web browser and SNMP alerting. For more information about iLO 2 features, refer to the iLO 2 documentation on the Documentation CD or on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/lights-out). Erase Utility CAUTION: Perform a backup before running the System Erase Utility. The utility sets the system to its original factory state, deletes the current hardware configuration information, including array setup and disk partitioning, and erases all connected hard drives completely. Refer to the instructions for using this utility. Run the Erase Utility if you need to erase the system for the following reasons: • You want to install a new operating system on a server with an existing operating system. • You want to change the operating system selection. • You encounter a failure-causing error during the SmartStart installation. • You encounter an error when completing the steps of a factory-installed operating system installation. The Erase Utility can be accessed from the Software and Drivers Download website (http://www.hp.com/go/support) or the Maintenance Utilities menu of the SmartStart CD ("SmartStart software" on page 66). Management Agents Management Agents provide the information to enable fault, performance, and configuration management. The agents allow easy manageability of the server through HP SIM software, and thirdparty SNMP management platforms. Management Agents are installed with every SmartStart assisted installation or can be installed through the HP PSP. The Systems Management homepage provides status and direct access to in-depth subsystem information by accessing data reported through the Management Agents. For additional information, refer to the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack or the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/manage). Configuration and utilities 71
