Each time a server connects to the Deployment Server, theDeployment Server polls the target server to see if a LOM management device is installed. If installed, theserver gathers information including the DNS name, IP address, and first user name. Security ismaintained by requiring the user to enter the correct password for that user name.For more information about the ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack, refer to the documentation thatships on the ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack CD or the <strong>HP</strong> website(http://www.hp.com/servers/rdp).Server management through IPMI version 2.0 compliant applicationsServer management through the IPMI is a standardized method for controlling and monitoring the server.iLO 2 provides server management based on the IPMI version 2.0 specification.The IPMI specification defines a standardized interface for platform management. The IPMI specificationdefines the following the type of platform management:• Monitoring of system information, such as fans, temperatures, and power supplies• Recovery capabilities, such as system resets and power on/off operations• Logging capabilities, for abnormal events such as over-temperature readings or fan failures• Inventory capabilities, such as identifying failed hardware componentsIPMI communications are dependent on the BMC and the SMS. The BMC manages the interface betweenthe SMS and the platform management hardware. iLO 2 emulates the BMC functionality and the SMSOperational overview 10
