Integrated Lights Out 2 Management Processor
The integrated Lights Out Management Processor (iLO 2 MP) is an independent support system for
the server. It provides a way for you to connect to a server and perform administration or monitoring
tasks for the server hardware.
The iLO 2 MP controls power, reset, Transfer of Control (ToC) capabilities, provides console access,
displays and records system events, and displays detailed information about the various internal
subsystems. The iLO 2 MP also provides a virtual front panel used to monitor server status and the
state of front panel LEDs. All iLO 2 MP functions are available through the LAN and the local
RS-232 port.
The iLO 2 MP is available whenever the server is connected to a power source, even if the server
main power switch is off.
Access to the iLO 2 MP can be restricted by user accounts. User accounts are password protected
and provide a specific level of access to the server and iLO 2 MP commands.
Multiple users can interact with the iLO 2 MP. From the MP Main Menu, users can select any of
the following options: enter iLO 2 MP command mode, enter console, view event logs, view console
history, display virtual front panel, enter console session, or connect to another iLO 2 MP. Multiple
users can select different options from the MP Main Menu at the same time. However, iLO 2 MP
command mode and console mode are mirrored, The iLO 2 MP allows only one user at a time to
have write access to the shared console.
For a complete explanation of configuring the iLO 2 MP and using the iLO 2 MP commands, see
the HP Integrity iLO 2 Operations Guide.
