HP XC System Software Hardware Preparation Guide Version 3.1

1.3 Supported Console Management Devices
Table 1-2 lists the supported console management device for each hardware model within each cluster
platform. The console management device provides remote access to the console of each node, enabling
functions such as remote power management, remote console logging, and remote boot.
HP workstation models do not have console ports.
HP ProLiant servers provide remote management features through a baseboard management controller
(BMC). The BMC enables functions such as remote power management and remote boot. HP ProLiant
BMCs comply with a specified release of the industry-standard Intelligent Platform Management Interface
(IPMI). HP XC supports two IPMI-compliant BMCs: integrated lights out (iLO and iLO2) and Lights-Out
100i (LO-100i), depending on the server model.
Hardware models that use iLO and iLO2 need certain settings that cannot be made until the iLO has an
IP address. The HP XC System Software Installation Guide provides instructions for using a browser to
connect to the iLO and iLO2 to enable telnet access.
