Obtaining and Activating iLO 2 Advanced Pack Licensing
For Integrity entry class systems, an Integrity iLO 2 Advanced Pack license key can be purchased
from your HP sales rep. To find the part number for the option for your system, see the HP website
at http:/www.hp.com/go/integrityilO. A free 30-day evaluation license is available for download
on the HP website. The evaluation license activates and accesses iLO 2 Advanced Pack features.
You can only install one evaluation license per iLO 2. After the evaluation period, an iLO 2
Advanced Pack license is required to continue using the advanced features. The iLO 2 Advanced
Pack license features automatically deactivate when the evaluation license key expires.
Systems that do not have VGA support all other iLO 2 Advanced Pack license features.
For more information, see the HP website at http://h71028.www7.hp.com/enterprise/cache/
279991-0-0-0-121.html.
Follow the factory-install or manual install instructions located on the Integrated Lights-Out Advanced
Pack for HP Integrity Servers; Certificate of License to Use; License Installation Card to activate
your license.
Lights-Out Advanced KVM Card
The HP Lights-Out Advanced KVM card is a PCI-X card that you install into a partition in any
sx2000-based mid-range or high-end HP Integrity server such as rx7640, rx8640, and Superdome
sx2000.
The Lights-Out Advanced KVM card extends the basic iLO 2 features built into your server by
adding virtual media and integrated remote console features to an individual partition. You must
add a card for each partition where vMedia or IRC is desired.
The Lights-Out Advanced KVM card is also a KVM card that offers physical video functionality for
servers running Windows, and USB functionality for servers running HP-UX, Windows, and
OpenVMS.
All Lights-Out Advanced features are fully enabled on the Lights-Out Advanced KVM card. There
is no additional advanced pack license to purchase. At present, the IRC is only available for servers
running Windows, and vMedia is available for servers running HP-UX, Windows, and OpenVMS.
