HP ProLiant ML310 Storage Server user guide (AG620-96001, November 2006)

Logging off and d
isconnecting
Remote Desktop
provides two options when closing a client: you can either disconnect or log off the
system.
Disconnecting leaves the session running on the server. You can reconnect to the server and resume the
session. If you are p erforming a task on the server, you can start the task and disconnect from the session.
Later , you can l
og back on the server, re-enter the session, and either resume the task or check results.
This is especi
ally helpful when operating over a remote connection on a long-distance toll line.
Ending the ses
sion is known as logging off. Logging off ends the session running on the ser ver. Any
application
s running within the session are closed, and unsaved changes made to open files will be lost.
The next time you log onto the server, a new session is created.
Remote Desktop requires that all connecting users be authenticated, which is why users must log on
each time the
y start a session.
Telnet Server
Telnet Server is a utility that lets users connect to ma chines, log on, and obtain a command prompt
remotely. Telnet Server is preinstalled on the storage server, but must be activated before use.
CAUTION:
For security reasons, the Telnet Ser ver is disabled by default. The service needs to be modified to
enable access to the stor age server with Telnet.

Using the Integrated Lights-Out 2 method
Integrated Lights-Out 2 (iLO 2) is HP' s fourth generation of Lights-Out management technology that
allows you to perform virtually any system adm inistrator or ma intenance task remotely as if you were
using its keyboard, mouse and monitor, power button and floppy, C D or USB key, whether or not the
server is operating. It is available in two forms, iLO 2 Standard and iLO 2 Advanced. iLO 2 Standard
provides basic system board management functions, diagnostics and essential Lights-Out functionality on
supported ProLiant servers. iLO 2 Advanced provides advanced remote administra tion functionality as a
licensed option, which is included with the ProLiant Storage Server.
