Product Highlights
| Virtual Graphical Remote Console | ||
| Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition delivers an embedded, hardware-based graphical remote console capability that provides virtual presence to servers in data center and remote sites, giving full control of remote server display, keyboard, and mouse. It seamlessly supports text and graphics modes, displaying all phases of remote server activities (shutting down, starting up, loading OS operation) and is OS independent (Microsoft® NT® Server 4.0, NetWare 5, SCO UnixWare 7, OS/2 etc.). It works with a standard browser; no additional software is required on the remote server or client. With the new firmware version 2.31, the graphical remote console supports single mouse cursor allowing easy navigation within the remote server screen. Java™ VM 1.3 is required on the client machine. | ||
|
|
||
| Dedicated LAN Network Connectivity | ||
| An onboard Ethernet chip (10/100 Mb/s) on the Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition provides IT Administrators with a dedicated network connection to the managed server. The board provides in-band SNMP notification in case of server problems to the Central Site management station on a real-time basis, without needing to maintain separate telephone connections or modem sharing devices. If dial-up access is desired, the board can be used in combination with an external RAS or modem router gateway. | ||
|
|
||
| Browser Accessible | ||
| Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition is accessible via Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. This allows easy access from anywhere, anytime to Remote Insight features to perform remote management tasks using a familiar user interface. The board has its own Web Server that is independent of the server operating system, and provides HTML pages to any browser to use the Remote Insight features. | ||
|
|
||
| Virtual Power Button | ||
| Using a standard browser, authenticated users can remotely control the host server's power button. If the server is powered off, it can be turned back on by a mere click in the browser.

|
|
||
| Virtual Floppy Drive | ||
| The Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition supports a virtual floppy drive which allows the host server to remotely boot from a standard 1.44-MB floppy diskette (WindowsÒ 95, 98, DOSÒ ). Using a free diskette image utility an administrator can quickly capture a snapshot file of a bootable floppy inserted in any network client. Once a floppy image file is saved, the administrator can then easily direct the host server to boot from the "virtual" floppy through the Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition web-interface. Additionally, the administrator can use the virtual floppy drive capability in combination with the graphical remote console to observe and control the server while the virtual floppy is in use. The virtual floppy drive also allows additional virtual floppy diskettes to be inserted and used (one at a time) by the remote host server. | ||
|
|
||
| Power Cycle (Reset) | ||
| This feature allows the remote administrator to reboot the server on demand; when the system is not responding a cold-reboot can be initiated to bring the server back on-line. This feature is broadly supported on all PCI-based Compaq ProLiant and Prosignia servers. | ||
|
|
||
| Auto-Configuration of IP Address via DNS/DHCP | ||
| Remote Insight lights-Out allows automatic network configuration and can be put to use straight out of the box. The board comes with a default name and DHCP client that leases an IP address when a DNS/DHCP server is on the network. Also allows static IP and port configuration. | ||
|
|
||
| External Power Backup |
| An external power adapter provides continuous power backup to the board allowing continuous access to the server, even when there is a server power failure or the server has been turned-off. |
|
|
| Reset and Failure Sequence Replay | ||
| It captures and replays server video text to assist in locating startup problems and causes of failure. | ||
|
|
||
| Insight Manager and Web-Enabled Agent Integration | ||
| It fully integrates with Insight Manager under key operating environments providing full SNMP management. The Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition also provides seamless access to the host server's web-enabled agents. Insight Manager also allows detailed diagnostics of the card, ensuring that the card is always online. | ||
|
|
||
| ROM-based Setup Utility | ||
| Onboard ROM-based setup utility allows fast and easy setup without additional software. | ||
|
|
||
| Integration with Compaq Survey | ||
| Utilizing an industry-standard browser, users can access the host server Compaq Survey configuration file, providing the latest server configuration information to assist in the diagnostic process. | ||
|
|
||
| Directory Integration for User Management | ||
| The Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition integrates with enterprise-class directory services to provide secure, scalable, and cost effective user management. Directory services, such as Microsoft Active Directory and Novell eDirectory, can be used to authorize directory users with assigned user roles to Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition cards. An easy and reliable installation program is available to install a management console snap-in and extend customer's existing directory schema to enable directory support for the HP lights-out management products. A directory migration tool is available to automate the integration of existing HP lights-out management devices to directory services. The Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition also supports up to 12 local user accounts with customizable access rights, each with individual login and password. | ||
|
|
||
| Customizable Accounts | ||
| Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition supports up to 12 users with customizable access rights, each with individual login and password. | ||
|
|
||
| Group Administration | ||
| Using Insight Manager XE 2.0, or later, users can be managed in groups making on-going maintenance easier. Users can be added or deleted, and password and access rights can be updated for a group of cards rather than one at a time. | ||
|
|
||
| Security | ||
| Using industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), all HTTP data is encrypted across the network, ensuring the highest level of protection. Configurable access rights for users and encrypted passwords provide protection from unauthorized access. Numerous additional security features include event generation for failed login attempts, enforced delay after unsuccessful login attempts, configurable IP port assignments, optional inbound IP address verification/lockout for each user, and optional lockout for the remote console telnet port. | ||
|
|
||
| Alert Administration |
| It provides support for SNMP trap delivery to Insight Manager or Insight Manager XE console. Traps forwarded by the board can be configured in Insight Manager for delivery to an administrator's pager or e-mail. |
|
|
| Integrated Management Log | ||
| It maintains a copy of the host server Integrated Management Log, that can be accessed using a standard browser even when the server is not operational. | ||
|
|
||
| Integrated Lights-Out Event Log | ||
| It includes a detailed event log independent of operating system, which is easily accessible through the browser or through Compaq Insight Manager. User actions like server power on/off, reset, changes in user configuration, clear event log, successful and unsuccessful login attempts are logged in the Remote Insight Event Log enabling auditing of user actions by the supervisor. | ||
