Logging into the system via the iLO utility

[Andrew Kaplan]

Hi there --

What is the correct keystroke combination to be able to log into a system console via the iLO utility? Thanks.

iLO as in an Intel based server ?

The equivelant in Itanium or PARISC is refered to as the MP ( maintenance processor ) or SP ( service processor ).

will access the MP command interface from the console.

If this is an intel based product then maybe post in intel hardware forum for best results.

Hello,

Hewlett-Packard, which is the dominant player in the Itanium market has grabbed many of the features that are standard on its Xeon-based ProLiant servers and is now putting them into its new Itanium-based Integrity servers and ILO is one of them.

But ILO is known as MP(management processor) or GSP(Guardian service processor) in Itanium and PA-RISC based servers.

And here if u login by using ILO IP(bcoz it has its own seperate IP) then it will prompt u for login and password.

After providing correct login name and password it will take u to MP MAIN MENU screen(see the attachment how it looks).
And there you plz type

MP>co

to enter into o.s. to login there.

Thanks and Bye

Shalom,

What once was an MP/Console port on PA-RISC is now iLO as HP spreads common parts between the Intel and Intel Itanium server lines.

Less to learn.

A console login is possible via iLo. Multiple user logins, not possible.

So many names ... iLO is common used for the web based interface of the MP (if we speak about an Integrity) - same look an feel like a Proliant.
Please run "model" on your HP-UX session an let us know your result.

Do you use a ssh/telnet/web connection to your iLO?
