will be familiar. Other feature changes include HP Management Agents for Windows 2000, PCI Hot
Plug implementation, NIC teaming, and mixed processor steppings.
Management agents
Management agents, by default, are installed with the PSP for Windows 2000. In Windows 2000,
the default security setting for SNMP communities is READ ONLY. Because the Management agents
require read-write access to the community, the default Windows 2000 security setting must be
changed after the creation of the SNMP community.
When creating new SNMP communities, verify that community rights are set to READ WRITE. Verify
that any SNMP communities already created (such as the default public community) are set to READ
WRITE.
Foundation agents, NIC agents, server agents, and storage agents are all included in the PSP and on
the SmartStart and Management CDs. The latest versions are also available on the HP website at
www.hp.com/cgi-bin/hpsupport/index.pl.
After the agents installation has been completed successfully, use Insight Manager or Insight Manager
7 over a network connection to manage Windows 2000 servers. Insight Manager Console currently
runs under Microsoft Windows 95, Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, and
Microsoft Windows 2000. Insight Manager 7 runs under Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000.
NOTE
Read the accompanying Help files available with the software, as
they contain valuable information needed for proper installation.
Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition management
Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition (RILOE) may be used to deploy a "headless" server running
Windows 2000 that does not require a monitor, keyboard, or a mouse. RILOE provides the ability for
virtual presence and control to geographically dispersed servers.
IT managers can use the RILOE to perform most of the in-front-of-the-server operations remotely using a
standard Web browser. The hardware-based virtual graphical console and virtual floppy can be used
to install, configure, monitor, update, reboot, and troubleshoot HP ProLiant servers located in the data
center or remote sites.
Integrated Lights-Out remote management
Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) is the next generation of Lights-Out technology integrated on the system
board. The basic Lights-Out management features of iLO such as virtual power button, diagnostics,
status, and logs are provided as standard components of the server, free of charge. The standard
features of iLO are referred as iLO Standard.
Advanced functionality of the iLO, referred to as iLO Advanced, can be licensed with the optional HP
ProLiant Essentials Integrated Lights-Out Advanced Pack. With the iLO Advanced Pack, the user has
full functionality including virtual graphical console and virtual floppy. This functionality ships standard
with RILOE. RILOE is not a supported option for iLO-based systems.
Using virtual floppy, the user can designate a virtual floppy image, power on the server, and
complete a network-based installation. This technology can be used for deployment of Windows
2000 when integrated with the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit (boot floppy method) or any other network
based installation. For more information on how to use RILOE or iLO or for information on purchasing
the iLO Advanced Pack, go to
