HP ProLiant SL390s Technology implementation in HP ProLiant G7 servers - Page 10

HP Remote Management HP ProLiant G7 100-series ML, DL, and SL servers use LO100i Remote Management hardware and firmware for remote server access and control capabilities. See the website for more information about LO100i Remote Management. ProLiant 300, 400, 500 and 600 series server and server blades use the iLO 3 management processor. iLO 3 improves performance, streamlines the user interface, and enhances support for management standards compared to iLO 2. The iLO 3 hardware includes a faster processor and increased memory, flash and DDR, for storing and executing programs. Remote console performance is up to eight times faster than iLO2 and equal to the performance of KVM and software-based remote management solutions. You can take advantage of the full functionality of iLO 3 with an iLO Advanced license or Insight Control. iLO 3 works with HP Systems Insight Manager, Insight Control, and Insight Dynamics to provide control over four aspects of each server: Simplified server setup - You can configure server boot order, network configuration, RAID settings, and other server parameters. You can also use these control parameters with internally developed deployment scripts or with Insight Control. This shortens deployment times when compared to using manual deployment methods. Extended embedded health - iLO 3 offers embedded health monitoring to help determine the status of important server components, regardless of whether the OS is running or offline. Power and thermal control - Power and thermal controls embedded into iLO 3 can reduce server power consumption. These controls regulate processor clock speed and switch the power supplies into an optional high-efficiency mode. Lights-Out remote administration - You can use Integrated Remote Console to interact remotely with the server OS or pre-OS environment. You can use Virtual Media, including Virtual Folders, to deliver emergency updates to remote servers. You can also take advantage of the multi-user console and the console record and playback function to collaborate more effectively with IT staff across multiple locations.2 Virtualization technologies HP Insight Server Migration software, HP Virtual Connect, and HP Insight Dynamics suite for ProLiant reduce the complexity of virtualization. HP Insight Server Migration automates the migration process by moving existing physical or virtual servers to ProLiant G7 servers or to other virtualization platforms. HP Virtual Connect is the first technology that allows you to divide and fine-tune 10Gb Ethernet network bandwidth to match workload demands. HP Insight Dynamics suite for ProLiant servers is a tool for capacity planning, configuration management, infrastructure orchestration, and recovery management. HP Insight Server Migration software for ProLiant As part of HP Insight Control, HP Insight Server Migration software for ProLiant 6.0 automates the migration process, moving existing physical or virtual servers to the latest ProLiant G7 servers or to the latest virtualization platforms from VMware, Microsoft, and Citrix. Without Insight Server Migration software, you must manually install the drivers, OS, and applications, and transfer the data to the new server. 2 Advanced remote control functionality requires an iLO Advanced license for ProLiant ML/DL servers and an iLO Advanced for BladeSystem license for ProLiant BL servers. 10
