* Shared and dedicated network port is currently an optional feature on some ProLiant 100-series G6 servers
and may be purchased as an option.
** The DNS registered names require high speed network ports to accommodate the large packet sizes
associated with this feature. High speed network ports are included on most ProLiant DL series servers. The
shared low speed network ports on the ProLiant ML series and DL120 G6 servers do not support DNS
registered names.
LO100i includes the following features:
• Improvements to HP SIM support through the addition of Insight Management (SNMP) Agents
– A new Health driver supports gathering and delivering LO100i management information from
SNMP Agents
– SNMP agents store the information and deliver it to HP SIM through SNMP as requested
– HP SIM discovers and makes associations with the LO100i instances in the network
– HP SIM displays URL links to launch the LO100i web interface for a given server
• Host access to in-band IPMI 2.0 features supported by IPMI-aware operating systems
• DNS Registration — LO100i on 100-series G6 servers comes with default host names and will
automatically register with the DNS if DHCP is enabled
LO100i shared and dedicated networks
In ProLiant DL
100-series G6 servers (with the exception of the DL120 G6), LO100i supports a full-
speed shared Ethernet port and a dedicated Ethernet port. LO100i and the server share the full-speed
Ethernet port, utilizing the system network for both. Since the connection is full speed, it supports
Graphic Remote Console and virtual media.
The dedicated Ethernet port is provided for DL 100-series G6 servers by means of an optional
mezzanine card and enables a separate management network. LO100i implementation varies
depending on whether the 100-series G6 server is a DL, SL, or an ML platform.
