Key features and benefits
Simplified server setup
ProLiant Onboard Administrator makes it possible to configure server boot order, network configuration and other server parameters in a consistent and unattended fashion. When used in combination with the Insight Control suite, you can expect to decrease deployment times by as much as 65 percent in comparison to traditional manual deployment methods.
Embedded server health
Most management systems require OS agents to troubleshoot hardware problems. With ProLiant Onboard Administrator embedded health, system administrators gain deep insight into the component status when the operating system is offline or distressed. With ProLiant G6 servers, HP introduces support for viewing configuration and status of CPU, fans, and power supplies. In addition, HP also introduces the ability to view configuration and status of memory, array controllers and drives.
iLO remote administration
iLO Advanced allows system administrators to quickly address problems in the data center down the hall or in remote offices around the world. The Integrated Remote Console gives your IT staff the ability to interact directly with the server OS or pre-OS environment without leaving their desks. This means that hundreds or thousands of dollars are saved which otherwise would have been spent on traveling to distant locations. In addition, IT administrators can take advantage of the multi-user console and video record and playback to collaborate with IT staff across multiple locations more effectively. This advanced functionality is available by purchasing an iLO Advanced license for ProLiant ML/DL servers and an iLO Advanced for BladeSystem license for ProLiant BL servers.
