SM CLP
The SM CLP specification defines a user friendly command-line protocol that provides command
line interface (CLI) standards for interoperability.
Mirrored Console
The system console output stream is reflected to all connected console users, and any user can
provide input.
Remote Power Control
Integrity iLO 2 enables remote power cycle, power on and power off, and TOC. It also provides
options to reset the system, the BMC, or iLO 2.
Power Regulation
Although the 24-hour graph function of power regulation feature requires the iLO 2 Advanced
Pack, you can obtain some power regulation information without the license:
• For both server blades and entry-rack servers, use the SS command from the MP CLI interface
for an instantaneous power reading.
• For server blades, use the web GUI Server Status page to obtain current power usage and
ambient temperature.
Event Logging
Integrity iLO 2 provides event logging, display, and keyword search of console history and system
events.
Advanced Features
Integrity iLO 2 advanced features provide additional functionality such as the graphical integrated
remote console and virtual media. In addition, the advanced features increase security by integrating
iLO 2 user administration with the Active Directory or eDirectory.
iLO advanced features are enabled on Integrity servers in one of two ways. For Integrity entry class
and blades, the advanced features are enabled with a license key. For Integrity cell-based servers,
the advanced features are enabled with a PCI-X accessory card instead of a key.
IMPORTANT: On HP Integrity server blades, the 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.
NOTE: A HP ProLiant iLO 2 Advanced Pack license key will not work on an HP Integrity server,
and vice versa.
NOTE: Not all advanced features are supported on all systems. For the most current information
on accessories, features, and supported products, see the HP website at http://www.hp.com/go/
integrityilo and look for the Quick Specs.
Integrity iLO 2 advanced features include the iLO 2 standard features and the following features:
Virtual Media
Virtual Media (vMedia) enables connections of a CD/DVD physical device or image file from the
local client system to the remote server. The virtual device or image file can be used to boot the
server with an operating system that supports USB devices.
Virtual Media depends on a reliable network with good bandwidth. This is especially important
when you are performing tasks such as large file transfers or OS installs.
