Review
It may have the same look and feel as previous ProLiant servers, with maroon and dark-gray drive bay latches, but beneath the hood of the HP ProLiant DL380 G4 is brand-new Intel technology—and a decent implementation at that. Click here to read our of HP ProLiant DL-380 G4.

It may have the same look and feel as previous ProLiant servers, with maroon and dark-gray drive bay latches, but beneath the hood of the HP ProLiant DL380 G4 is brand-new Intel technology—and a decent implementation at that.

As with most of the servers here, a row of hot-swappable fans separates the drive bays from the rest of the chassis. One difference is that at this price, and with this configuration, HP left three of the fan slots unoccupied. We recommend opting for the extra fans, and even a second power supply, if you're ordering this box for an enterprise that demands high availability.

The latch and opening mechanism of the DL380 seem even better than the IBM server's. Under the hood, everything serviceable is clearly marked, with actual labels rather than cryptic color coding. Even the CPUs and CPU heat sinks are easily accessible; the latches on the heat sink tension mounts seem more robust than the latches on many servers.

HP includes the usual suite of server management tools in Insight Manager and on the Smart Start driver discs, which can help configure the DL380. HP's integrated Lights Out (iLO) Advanced can help you check and configure the server even if the OS is not working. An improvement over the previous version of iLO is the ability to share one of the ports on the on-board NICs instead of on the management card, saving a port on your network switch for other servers.

The DL380 was a decent but not spectacular performer on our WebBench tests, tending to follow rather than lead. Its E-Commerce numbers were good, with the DL380 peaking just before the Aberdeen Stirling 208S and the Dell PowerEdge 2850 in throughput and requests per second. At 60 clients, the DL380 managed a better average response time on NetBench than either the Aberdeen or IBM servers, but it was quite a bit below the Dell in overall file-sharing performance. Still, if your environment presents only moderate file-serving loads, the HP can handle the task.

As an addition to your stable of ProLiant servers, the DL380 is a decent introduction to the new world of Nocona-Lindenhurst. For those who already have Insight Manager in place for server configuration and monitoring, the DL380 is a good choice for mission-critical servers.

Integrated Lights-Out, or iLO, is a proprietary embedded server management technology by Hewlett-Packard which provides out-of-band management facilities. The physical connection is an Ethernet port that can be found on most Proliant servers and microservers^[1] of the 300 and above series.

Firmware

iLO has similar functionality to the lights out management (LOM) technology offered by other vendors, for example Sun/Oracle's LOM port, Dell DRAC, the IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter and Cisco CIMC.

Features[edit]

iLO makes it possible to perform activities on an HP server from a remote location. The iLO card has a separate network connection (and its own IP address) to which one can connect via HTTPS. Possible options are:

• Reset the server (in case the server doesn't respond anymore via the normal network card)
• Power-up the server (possible to do this from a remote location, even if the server is shut down)
• Remote system console (in some cases however an 'Advanced license' may be required for some of the utilities to work)
• Mount remote physical CD/DVD drive or image
• Access the server's Integrated Management Log (IML)
• Can be manipulated remotely through XML-based Remote Insight Board Command Language (RIBCL)
• Full command-line interface support through RS-232 port (shared with system), though the inability to enter function keys prevents certain operations

iLO provides some other utilities like virtual media (CD, floppy), virtual power and a remote console. iLO is either embedded on the system board, or available as a PCI card.

Availability[edit]

iLO is embedded or available on some HP ProLiant and Integrity servers.

Prior to iLO, Compaq created several other lights out management products. The original was the Remote Insight Board (RIB), which was available as an EISA or PCIexpansion card. RIB was replaced with RILOE (Remote Insight Light-Out Edition), which was only available for PCI. The original RILOE was replaced with RILOE II. HP stopped manufacturing RILOE II in 2006. The final firmware version for RILOE is 2.53(A) dated 9 Mar 2004 and for RILOE II is 1.21 dated 5 July 2006.

For some ProLiant 100 series servers there is a 'Lights Out 100' option, which has more limited functionality. The LO100 is a traditional IPMIBMC, and does not share hardware or firmware with iLO.

There is also a version of iLO for HP Moonshot systems referred to as iLO Chassis Management which is often abbreviated as iLO CM. The Chassis Management version of iLO was derived from iLO 4.^[2] As of June 2018 the most recent Chassis Manager Firmware available is version 1.56 which was released as part of the Moonshot Component Pack 2018.02.0.^[3]

Versions[edit]

There have been multiple generations of iLO, each generation noted by a single digit number ('iLO 2'). Some generations of iLO are segmented into different editions, based on what features are licensed.^[4] iLO includes updatable firmware, for which HP periodically releases new versions.

Programming Interfaces[edit]

Several APIs exist for interacting with HP iLO:

• Perl: Net::ILO
• Python: python-hpilo
• Ruby: ILOrb
• Powershell: HPE Scripting Tools for Windows Powershell
