TIP: Before performing certain iLO 2 functions, verify that you have the supported firmware
version required to carry out the task.
Licensing
The Licensing page (Figure 34) is used to enter a license key to enable the iLO 2 Advanced Pack
features.
NOTE: Licensing keys are not used with cell-based servers, the Lights-Out Advanced KVM card
is used instead. For information on the Lights-Out Advanced KVM card, see Chapter 5 (page 49).
IMPORTANT: A HP ProLiant iLO 2 Advanced Pack license key will not work on an HP Integrity
server, and vice versa.
NOTE: Depending on your server, this page might look slightly different.
Figure 34 Licensing Page
NOTE: The BL c-Class tab is available only on HP Integrity server blades.
IMPORTANT: On HP Integrity server blades, an Advanced Pack license is standard. Remember
to save the Advanced Pack license key information that was provided by HP. If you ever need to
replace your server blade under warranty, you will need to transfer the key by entering the code
on the replacement server blade.
Integrity iLO 2 offers some advanced features, which can be used only with the iLO 2 Advanced
Pack license:
• Virtual Media
• Integrated Remote Console
• Directory-based authentication and authorization using LDAP
