The power regulation functionality is achieved through two different interfaces:
• Power Regulation through HP SIM (using the HP IPM plug in)
HP Insight Power Manager (HP IPM), a plug-in to HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM), is
an integrated power monitoring and management application that provides centralized control
of server power consumption and thermal output. It extends the unified infrastructure
management framework of HP SIM by providing new energy levers into the server. Leveraging
HP power regulator technology, HP IPM makes policy-based power and thermal management
possible. It expands the capacity of data centers by reducing the amount of power and cooling
required for supported Integrity servers and the server blades.
An Advanced Pack license is required to use the power regulation feature through the IPM.
Information on HP IPM is available on the HP website at http://www.hp.com/go/ipm.
• Power Regulation through the iLO 2
The iLO 2 reads ACPI registers to gather information and display the current power efficiency
mode of the system. The available power regulator mode settings are sent to the OS through
an ACPI interface. If the OS is able to respond to the settings, it sets return codes to note
success or failure to reach these settings.
You do not need an Advanced Pack license to use the power regulation feature through iLO
2.
Administration
The Administration tab enables you to access the following pages:
• Firmware Upgrade
• Licensing
• Local Accounts
• Group Accounts
• Settings
• Access Settings: LAN, Serial, and Login Options
• Directory Settings: LDAP Parameters
• Network Settings: Standard and Domain Name Server
• BL c-Class (Available only for server blade.)
• SNMP Settings
• Help
Firmware Upgrade
The Firmware Upgrade page functionality is only available to authorized HP service personnel.
The MP firmware is packaged along with system, BMC, and FPGA/PSOC firmware. To perform
a firmware upgrade, you can download and upgrade the firmware package from the HP website
at http://www.hp.com/go/bizsupport.
IMPORTANT: When performing a firmware upgrade that contains system programmable hardware
(FPGA, EFI, PSOC, BMC), you must properly shut down any OS that is running before starting the
firmware upgrade process.
Select Download drivers and software, select your server, and follow the directions provided.
After the upgrade, reconnect and log in as user Admin and password Admin (case sensitive).
