host server and operating system. The iLO subsystem provides remote access to any authorized
network client, sends alerts, and provides other server management functions.
Using iLO , you can:
• Remotely power up, power down, or reboot the host server.
• Send alerts from iLO regardless of the state of the host server.
• Access advanced troubleshooting features through the iLO interface.
• Diagnose iLO using HP SIM through a web browser and SNMP alerting.
For more information about iLO basic features, refer to the iLO documentation on the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/servers/lights-out).
Accessing UEFI or the OS from iLO MP
The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface is an architecture that provides an interface between
the server blade OS and the server blade firmware. UEFI provides a standard environment for
booting an OS and running preboot applications.
Use this procedure to access UEFI or the OS from the iLO MP. Your security parameters were
set regarding remote access.
• From the MP Main Menu, enter co to access the Console.
NOTE: Terminal windows should be set to a window size of 80 columns x 25 rows for
optimal viewing of the console at UEFI.
Depending on how the server blade was configured from the factory, and if the OS is installed
at the time of purchase, you are taken to:
• UEFI shell prompt
• OS login prompt
If the server blade has a factory-installed OS, you can interrupt the boot process to configure
your specific UEFI parameters.
If you are at the UEFI shell prompt, go to “UEFI Front Page” (page 42).
If you are at the OS login prompt, go to “OS login prompt” (page 44).
UEFI Front Page
If you are at the UEFI shell prompt, enter exit to get to the UEFI Front Page.
