1 Alert On LAN 2 Features and

Requirements

Alert on LAN 2 (AOL2) is shipped with HP NetServer LP1000r and LP2000r

systems to enable an administrator to perform remote power functions on their

servers over the network via a simple Microsoft Windows-based interface or DOS

command. These functions allow you to:

lPower off the server

lPower cycle the server (like pressing the on/off button to turn the system

off and then back on)

lReset the server (like pressing a PC's reset button)

lWhen applicable, allow these power functions to gracefully shut down the

Network Operating System first

NOTE To power on the server, you may use the server's Wake-On-

LAN (WOL) capability. You will need to obtain software that

can access this capability, such as Intel's LANDesk Client

Manager (Rev 3.1x or later) or AMD's Magic Packet

technology.

Chapter 1 Alert On LAN2 Features and Requirements

How Does AOL2 Work?

AOL2 works by sending a special network packet from a Windows client to your

AOL2-enabled servers to perform power functions remotely.

To enable your server (this feature is disabled by default) to perform power

functions over the network, you must first enable power on/off and Wake On

LAN options of your the server's LAN A port (LAN B doesn't support AOL2).

This is done through the server's BIOS setup program. Once the LAN A port is

enabled, you should connect it to the network, preferably to a private network

dedicated to management and only accessible by administrators.

Then you install NetServer Agents software which includes the services your

server will need to recognize AOL2 packets.

Finally, you install the client software at a secure management console (a

network-connected PC running Windows).

From the management console, you use a Windows program or DOS command to

send AOL2 packets to the specified servers. These packets initiate the specified

power functions on the selected LP1000r or LP2000r NetServers.

Chapter 1 Alert On LAN2 Features and Requirements

A Word About Security

Once the server has been setup and enabled to receive these packets, you should

ensure that no one other than specified administrators can access the software used

to shut down or power cycle your servers. Do this by installing the AOL2 client

software only on designated, secure, password-protected, management consoles.

For the most protection, HP recommends that you only connect the LAN A port of

your HP NetServers to an isolated LAN dedicated to management tasks and only

available to authorized administrators.

Requirements

lThe HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM version L.19.00, M.01.00 or above

(comes with the server)

At the NetServer:

lMust be an HP NetServer LP1000r or LP2000r

lThe server must be running Windows Server; either NT 4.0 or 2000

lThe server's LAN A port must have a network connection and be

configured to enable power and WOL functions (HP recommends that the

network that you connect LAN A port to should be only accessible by

administrators)

A the management console:

lMust be running either Windows 95, 98, 2000 or NT 4.0

2 Installing and Using AOL2

The follow sections describe how to install, use, and disable the AOL2 feature.

Setting Up AOL2 at the Server

1. Boot the NetServer and run the server's BIOS setup program (press F2

when prompted during the boot process).

2. At the main menu, go under Configuration and get to the embedded LAN

A port menu.

3. Enable the LAN power on/off and Wake On LAN (WOL) functions.

4. Save and exit.

5. After the Network Operating System is installed, run the NetServer Agents

installation program (this may be done from a client). The setup program is

located on the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM under

Manage\Server\language\NOS\setup.exe

where language indicates the language (FR=French, GE=German,

IT=Italian, SP=Spanish, US=English) and NOS indicates the abbreviation

for the version of Windows.

6. Once the NetServer Agents are installed, it is a good idea to go to each

server that you will be using AOL2 on and confirm that the two services

HPSDNSVC (the shutdown service) and HPAOLSVC (the AOL2

service) are set to "automatic" and have been started (the AOL2 setup

program should do this by default). You can do this under Control Panel |

Services. The services should be set this way to ensure that they start

automatically whenever the server is restarted.

NOTE If the IP address of your server ever changes, you will need to

either reboot the server or stop and restart the AOL2 service.

Not doing so will prevent you from using AOL2 features on

your server.

Chapter 2 Installing and Using AOL2

Setting Up AOL2 at the Management Console

1. At your management console, run the AOL2 client software installation

program. The setup program is located on the HP NetServer Navigator

CD-ROM under

Manage\Console\Aol_util\setup.exe

2. After the installation, look under Programs | Hewlett-Packard for the

Alert-On-LAN2 icon.

NOTE The only way to ensure that the AOL2 power functions aren't

used by unauthorized personnel is to install the client software

only on a designated, secure, password-protected management

console.

For the most protection, you should only connect the LAN A

port of your HP NetServers to an isolated LAN dedicated to

management tasks and only available to authorized

administrators.

Using AOL2

Once AOL2 is setup at both the server and the management console, do the

following to access NetServer power functions over the network.

Using AOL2 from Windows

From your management console running Windows, click on the Alert-On-LAN2

icon found under Programs | Hewlett-Packard. The following interface will

appear:
