HP Integrity iLO 2 Operations Guide

The MP firmware is packaged along with system, BMC, and FPGA/PSOC firmware. 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, 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).
TIP: Before performing certain iLO 2 functions, verify that you have the supported firmware
version required to carry out the task.

IT: Inactivity timeout settings
Command access level: MP configuration access
IT prevents sessions on the system from being inadvertently left open. When you initiate an iLO
2 MP command, other users are prohibited from running any commands until the first command
has been completed or until it times out. Command interface inactivity timeout specifies that timeout
value. This prevents a user from inadvertently keeping iLO 2 locked in a command, preventing
other users from running iLO 2 MP commands.
