HP Integrity iLO 2 MP 5991-6005 manual Advanced Pack License, Ldap Lite, Power Meter Readings

logging in to the iLO 2 MP and authorization is given each time an iLO 2 MP command runs. This provides a centralized database (LDAP server) of all user accounts and avoids the overhead of creating users in each iLO 2 MP.

Directory authentication occurs by enabling Extended Schema or Default Schema. When Extended Schema is used, the schema in the directory server must be extended. When Default Schema is selected, schema extension is not needed.

LDAP Lite

LDAP Lite enables you to use directory authentication to log in to the iLO 2 MP without having to do any schema extension on the directory server or snap-in installation on the client. In addition to general directory integration benefits, iLO 2 MP schema-free integration provides the following:

•Minimal maintenance and administration

•Reliable security

•Complements two-factor authentication

Not extending the schema on the directory server means the directory server does not know anything about the iLO 2 MP object or privileges, and the only thing the iLO 2 MP queries from the directory server is to authenticate the user name and password.

Power Meter Readings

The power meter readings feature enables you to graphically view and monitor server power usage, temperature, and power regulator settings.

HP Insight Power Manager

HP Insight Power Manager (HP IPM), a plug-in to HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM), is an integrated power monitoring and management application that provides centralized control of server power consumption and thermal output. It extends the unified infrastructure management framework of HP SIM by providing new energy levers into the server.

Leveraging HP power regulator technology, HP IPM makes policy-based power and thermal management possible by enabling you to view and modify the power efficiency regulator mode of the system. It expands the capacity of data centers by reducing the amount of power and cooling required for supported Integrity servers and the server blades.
