IMPORTANT: Although the iLO MP can support multiple simultaneous connections of all types, to do so can impact performance. HP does not recommend running more than eight simultaneous connections. The iLO MP supports the following connections simultaneously: • 4 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) • 4 SSH • 1 local console serial port (RS-232) • 4 IPMI over LAN • 4 telnet • 1 remote (modem) IPMI over LAN The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) option provides direct access from the iLO 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. The iLO MP supports up to four simultaneous IPMI over LAN connections. Firmware Upgrades Firmware upgrades enhance the functionality of the iLO MP. The MP firmware is packaged along with system, BMC, and FPGA/PSOC firmware. You can download and upgrade the firmware package from the HP website at: http://www.hp.com/go/bizsupport Internal Subsystem Information The iLO MP displays information about the following internal subsystems: • Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) information • System power state and fan status • Processor status DHCP and DNS Support The iLO MP supports the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and the Domain Name System (DNS) configuration options for acquiring network information through the iLO MP LAN port. When the iLO MP starts, it acquires the port configuration stored on a DHCP server, and the iLO MP LAN port is assigned an IP address. If DNS is configured, this information is updated on the DNS server. The simplest method to initially connect to the iLO MP is with the default DNS name found on the toe-tag on the server, for example, mp0014c29c064f. SNMP The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is part of the TCP/IP protocol suit developed to manage servers on an IP network. SNMP enables you to manage network performance, find and solve network problems, and plan for network growth. Mirrored Console The system console output stream is reflected to all connected console users, and any user can provide input. Features 19

IMPORTANT:

Although the iLO MP can support multiple simultaneous connections of all types,

to do so can impact performance. HP does not recommend running more than eight simultaneous

connections.

The iLO MP supports the following connections simultaneously:

•

4 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)

•

4 SSH

•

1 local console serial port (RS-232)

•

4 IPMI over LAN

•

4 telnet

•

1 remote (modem)

IPMI over LAN

The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) option provides direct access from the

iLO 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. The iLO MP supports up to

four simultaneous IPMI over LAN connections.

Firmware Upgrades

Firmware upgrades enhance the functionality of the iLO MP. The MP firmware is packaged

along with system, BMC, and FPGA/PSOC firmware. You can download and upgrade the

firmware package from the HP website at:

.hp.com/go/bizsupport

Internal Subsystem Information

The iLO MP displays information about the following internal subsystems:

•

Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) information

•

System power state and fan status

•

Processor status

DHCP and DNS Support

The iLO MP supports the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and the Domain Name

System (DNS) configuration options for acquiring network information through the iLO MP

LAN port. When the iLO MP starts, it acquires the port configuration stored on a DHCP server,

and the iLO MP LAN port is assigned an IP address. If DNS is configured, this information is

updated on the DNS server. The simplest method to initially connect to the iLO MP is with the

default DNS name found on the toe-tag on the server, for example,

mp0014c29c064f

SNMP

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is part of the TCP/IP protocol suit developed

to manage servers on an IP network. SNMP enables you to manage network performance, find

and solve network problems, and plan for network growth.

Mirrored Console

The system console output stream is reflected to all connected console users, and any user can

provide input.
