iLO 2

iLO 2 (integrated Lights Out management) er HP (tidligere Compaq) sitt remote management verktøy for ProLiant servere.

2020-06-03 

oppgradert iLO 2 firmware til versjon 2.33. Tingo (diskusjon) 5. jun. 2020 kl. 16:55 (CEST)

Management

iLO 2 via nettleser funker, men remote console og virtual media krever java applets, dvs. at ingen moderne nettlesere støtter det. Alternativ: Javafox som er et docker-image med gammel nettleser og Java-plugins.

iLO 2 via ssh funker, der funker også vm (virtual media), men images må legges på en server. Eksempel

</>hpiLO-> vm cdrom get
VM Applet = Disconnected
Boot Option = BOOT_ONCE
Write Protect = Yes
Image Inserted = Connected
Image URL = http://heim.bitraf.no/tingo/files/iso/FreeBSD-12.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso

</>hpiLO-> vm cdrom insert http://heim.bitraf.no/tingo/files/iso/FreeBSD-11.3-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso

</>hpiLO-> vm cdrom set boot_once


</>hpiLO-> vm cdrom get
VM Applet = Disconnected
Boot Option = BOOT_ONCE
Write Protect = Yes
Image Inserted = Connected
Image URL = http://heim.bitraf.no/tingo/files/iso/FreeBSD-11.3-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso

Utfordringen med iLO 2 via ssh er remote console. Det er støttet for text only konsoll (via kommandoen textcons), men så fort operativsystemet bytter til grafisk skjerm på konsollet, så mister du bildet.

tested Javafox for remote console and virtual media applet. With a small fix to the Dockerfile, both remote console and virtual media applets start. I've tested the remote console, it works. Tingo (diskusjon) 17. sep. 2021 kl. 15:18 (CEST)

need packages firmware-bnx2 for the network interfaces. Could probably use some HP related packacges too, like hpacucli, hpssacli. And probably something for temperature monitoring / fan control.
