Using iLO 3

The iLO 3 subsystem is a standard component of selected server blades that monitors blade health and provides remote server manageability. The iLO 3 subsystem includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory, and a dedicated network interface. This design makes iLO 3 independent of the host server and operating system. The iLO 3 subsystem provides remote access to any authorized network client, sends alerts, and provides other server management functions.

Using iLO 3, you can:

•Remotely power on, power off, or reboot the host server.

•Subscribe to we-man alerts from iLO 3 regardless of the state of the host server.

•Access advanced troubleshooting features through the iLO 3 interface.

•Access Remote Console and vMedia functionality.

For more information about iLO 3 basic features, see the iLO 3 documentation on the HP website (http://h20341.www2.hp.com/integrity/w1/en/software/integrity-lights-out.html? jumpid=ex_r11294_us/en/large/tsg/go_integrityilo).

Accessing UEFI or the OS from iLO 3 MP

UEFI is an architecture that provides an interface between the server blade OS and the server blade firmware. UEFI provides a standard environment for booting an OS and running preboot applications.

Use this procedure to access UEFI or the OS from the iLO 3 MP. Your security parameters were set regarding remote access.

1.Retrieve the factory iLO 3 password from the iLO 3 Network pull tag located on the right side of the Monarch blade.

2.From the MP Main Menu, enter the co command to access the Console.

NOTE: Terminal windows should be set to a window size of 80 columns x 25 rows for optimal viewing of the console at UEFI.

3.After memory test and CPU late self test the following message appears:

Press Ctrl-C now to bypass loading option ROM UEFI drivers.

The prompt will timeout if Ctrl-C is not pressed within a few seconds. If Ctrl-C is pressed, you will be presented with two options:

•Bypass loading from I/O slots.

•Bypass loading from I/O slots and core I/O.

The Bypass loading from I/O slots and core I/O option may be useful if a bad core I/O UEFI driver is preventing system boot. USB drives can still be used at the UEFI shell to update core I/O drivers.

CAUTION: Hitting Ctrl-C before the prompt will not work and may even disable this feature, be sure wait for the prompt before hitting Ctrl-C.

NOTE: It can take several minutes for this prompt to appear, and the window of time when Ctrl-C can be pressed is very short. For typical boots, HP recommends that you let the prompt time out.

After selecting an option, boot will proceed.
