HP Lights-Out Management Processor task

HP ProLiant servers can include a Lights-Out Management Processor, which enables you to perform advanced, secure, and operating system-independent remote server management using a standard browser interface. The HP ProLiant Management Pack 1.3 for MOM 2005 includes a task that collects HP Lights-Out Management Processor data and creates an associated browser link to remotely access the selected HP ProLiant server.

NOTE: The HP Lights-Out Management Processor task is only available in the HP ProLiant Management Pack 1.3 for MOM 2005. The HP Management Processor task in the HP Integrity Management Pack 1.2 for MOM 2005 displays similar information for HP Integrity servers (see "HP Management Processor task").
