HP Integrity iLO 3 Operations Guide

You can download HP SIM from the HP website. For more information about HP SIM, see the HP

SNMP
SNMP is not currently supported in Integrity iLO 3.
Event logging
Integrity iLO 3 provides event logging, display, and keyword search of console history and system
events. The event log records the following information:
• iLO 3 MP login and logout events
• Command logging for specific commands
Directory-based secure authentication and authorization using LDAP
Directory-based authentication and authorization enables iLO 3 user accounts to be defined in a
centralized database on an LDAP server. Integrity iLO 3 users are authenticated when logging in
to iLO 3 and authorization is given each time an iLO 3 command runs. This provides a centralized
database (LDAP server) of all user accounts and avoids the overhead of creating users in each iLO
3.
Directory authentication occurs by enabling Extended Schema or Default Schema. When Extended
Schema is used, the schema in the directory server must be extended. When Default Schema is
selected, schema extension is not needed.
Schema-free LDAP
Schema-free LDAP enables you to use directory authentication to log in to iLO 3 without having to
perform any schema extension on the directory server or snap-in installation on the client. In addition
to general directory integration benefits, iLO 3 schema-free integration provides the following:
• Minimal maintenance and administration
• Reliable security
Not extending the schema on the directory server means the directory server does not recognize
the iLO 3 object or privileges, and the only thing the iLO 3 queries from the directory server is to
authenticate the user name and password.
Integrated Remote Console
The Integrated Remote Console (IRC) is a signed Direct X application, which enables a user to
securely manage HP Integrity servers with iLO. The IRC integrates the keyboard, video, and mouse
functions into a virtual interface, providing an experience similar to that of the remote server
graphics console. With the IRC, you can view the server system graphics display to directly interact
with the server and perform maintenance activities, as well as open and run applications on the
server, using the keyboard and mouse control. The console uses the hardware acceleration and
advanced graphics features in .NET Framework. The console is launched by using Microsoft
ClickOnce technology.
The IRC window remains open until one of the following events occurs:
• You sign out of the iLO interface by using the link in the banner
• The IRC does not detect keyboard or mouse activity for 15 minutes
• Another user disconnects IRC
IRC is supported with Integrity iLO 3 v1.3 management processors. For older iLO 3 systems, you
can obtain IRC with a system firmware upgrade. No additional licensing is required.
