Action
Group administration simplifies an IT administrator's task of configuring and managing large
deployments of Integrated Lights-Out processors. Using the HP Lights-Out Configuration Utility, an
administrator can easily configure network settings, global settings, and activate the ProLiant Essentials
iLO Advanced Pack license keys on a group of Integrated Lights-Out processors at a time. This can be
performed in a batch process or by using HP System Insight Manager's powerful device query
mechanism. Integrated Lights-Out also allows group actions on one or many servers including
controlling the power switch, rebooting, retrieving important blade topology information, and switching
on/off the Unit ID LED using scripts. In addition, group actions can be executed from the HP SIM menu
with iLO firmware v 1.70 or greater.

HP Systems Insight Manager and Insight Manager 7 discover all Integrated Lights-Out devices installed in
servers on the network as management processors. The management processors are associated with the
servers in which they are installed. Systems Insight Manager and Insight Manager 7 provide hyperlinks on
the server device pages to launch and connect to Integrated Lights-Out. In additional, all Integrated
Lights-Out devices can be grouped together logically, displayed on one page and issued group action
commands from the HP SIM menu bar. This capability provides access to Integrated Lights-Out from one
point in Systems Insight Manager and Insight Manager 7. Combined with System Management Home
Page, Integrated Lights-Out provides remote access to system management information through the
Integrated Lights-Out Web browser interface.
