The evaluation license will activate andallow access to iLO 2 advanced features. Only one evaluation license can be installed per iLO 2. Afterthe evaluation period, the licensed features deactivate and an iLO 2 Advanced or Select license isrequired to continue using the licensed features.iLO 2 Remote Console and iLO 2 licensing optionsAll iLO 2 Remote Console connection options are graphical and must be rendered using a client programthat can process iLO 2 graphics commands. Two clients are provided to render the iLO 2 graphics: aJava-based Remote Console and a Windows® Active X-based Integrated Remote Console. For thoseclients that do not understand iLO 2 graphics (SSH and telnet), the iLO 2 Remote Serial Console must beused.iLO 2 blades ship with the iLO 2 Standard Blade Edition, which includes the Remote Console. However,the HP ProLiant ML and HP ProLiant DL models ship with the iLO Standard license, which does not includethe Remote Console. Previous iLO Standard licenses on the HP ProLiant ML and ProLiant DL modelsincluded a text-based Remote Console. Because there is no true text protocol in the iLO 2 RemoteConsole, the iLO 2 Standard Remote Console on the HP ProLiant ML and ProLiant DL models is limited topre-operating system only. As soon as the server starts to boot an operating system, the iLO 2 Standardon the HP ProLiant ML and ProLiant DL models displays a message that indicates the need for the iLO 2Advanced license.For system using SSH and the CLP to display iLO 2 Remote Console information, the CLP commandcurrently used is start /system1/console1. This command is only valid for the iLO 2 blade for aslong as the operating system is in text-only mode. If start /system1/console1 is used with an iLO 2blade, you will not see anything because even if the operating system is in text-only mode, the protocolstream sent by iLO 2 in response to this command is graphical. The iLO 2 firmware will not sendgraphical data to the SSH port.For an iLO 2 blade (and an iLO blade running Linux in a graphical format), enter getty() on theserver's serial port, and then use iLO 2 Remote Serial Console or iLO Virtual Serial Port (CLP commandstart /system1/oemhp_vsp1) to view a login session to the Linux operating system through theserial port.User administrationThe User Administration page enables you to manage user accounts stored locally in the secure iLO 2memory and directory group accounts. Directory user accounts are managed using MMC or ConsoleOnesnap-ins.Users with the Administer User Accounts privilege can view iLO 2 users, add new users, and modify ordelete existing users. Users without the privilege to Administer User Accounts can only view or modifytheir own accounts.Configuring iLO 2 23
