port with the server OS traffic, both the iLO processor and the server NIC have their own Media Access Control
(MAC) address, which gives iLO and the server separate Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. The SNP simplifies
hardware installation and reduces hardware costs because corporate and iLO network traffic comes through the
system NIC.
Advantages of iLO 3
With HP iLO3, you can:
Reduce expense and travel costs by accessing a secure Remote Console to the server from anywhere. Use the
shared iLO 3 Remote Console to collaborate with up to six server administrators
Remotely mount high-performance Virtual Media devices to the server from anywhere on the network
Securely and remotely control the power state of the server
Send alerts from iLO 3 regardless of the state of the host server
Access advanced troubleshooting features through the iLO 3 interface
Experience a fast Remote Console incorporating the newest technologies like Simple Network Time Protocol
(SNTP) and IPMI over LAN (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) DCMI (Data Center Manageability
Interface)
Launch URL or scriptable Virtual Media from Remote Console
Experience a streamlined user interface using Web 2.0 technologies
Experience AES (in addition to RC4) encryption in the hardware for improved performance
HP Power Regulator
The DL580 G7 includes HP Power Regulator, an innovative OS-independent power management tool. HP Power
Regulator is a ROM-based utility used to set the server to power modes:
Static high power—Server runs continuously in the highest performance state
Static low power—Server runs continuously in the lowest power state
Dynamic power savings—Server processor-power adjusts according to application activity
HP Power Regulator improves the energy efficiency of the DL580 G7. Intel processors run at full power when they
need to, but with reduced application activity, they run in a power savings mode without performance degradation.
RBSU during POST or the iLO 3 remote management console allows selection of the HP Power Regulator modes.
HP Dynamic Power Capping
Server performance per watt continues to increase steadily. However, the number of watts per server also continues
to climb. These increases, combined with the growing number of servers and density in modern data centers, make
planning and managing facility power and cooling resources critically important. HP Dynamic Power Capping is a
ProLiant power management tool unique to HP and assists the data center administrator with managing these critical
tasks.
Because it is hardware based, Dynamic Power Capping can control server power consumption quickly. Dynamic
Power Capping ensures sudden surges in server power demand do not allow the HP Power Distribution Unit circuit
breakers to trip.
Administrators can use power consumption information gathered with Insight Control power management software
to set appropriate power caps to individual servers.
Setting power caps to the peak observed power consumption makes it possible to free up additional power. Power
is then available for additional servers.
