1.5 Supported Console Management Devices
Table 1-3 lists the supported console management device for each hardware model within each
cluster platform. The console management device provides remote access to the console of each
node, enabling functions such as remote power management, remote console logging, and remote
boot.
HP workstation models do not have console ports.
HP ProLiant servers provide remote management features through a baseboard management
controller (BMC). The BMC enables functions such as remote power management and remote
boot. HP ProLiant BMCs comply with a specified release of the industry-standard Intelligent
Platform Management Interface (IPMI). HP XC supports two IPMI-compliant BMCs: integrated
lights out (iLO and iLO2) and Lights-Out 100i (LO-100i), depending on the server model.
Each HP ProLiant server blade has a built-in Integrated Lights Out (iLO2) device that provides
full remote power control and serial console access. You can access the iLO2 device through the
Onboard Administrator. On server blades, iLO2 advanced features are enabled by default and
include the following:
• Full remote graphics console access including full keyboard, video, mouse (KVM) access
through a Web browser
• Support for remote virtual media which enables you to mount a local CD or diskette and
serve it to the server blade over the network
Each HP Integrity server blade has a built-in management processor (MP) device that provides
full remote power control and serial console access. You can access the MP device by connecting
a serial terminal or laptop serial port to the local IO cable that is connected to the server blade.
Hardware models that use iLO and iLO2 need certain settings that cannot be made until the iLO
has an IP address. The HP XC System Software Installation Guide provides instructions for using
a browser to connect to the iLO and iLO2 to enable telnet access.
