Remote access to HPE Synergy Composer2 through iLO

You can configure the HPE Synergy Composer2 for remote access through its embedded management processor (iLO). This configuration enables you to manage the Composer2 remotely and perform specific Composer2 management operations that previously required accessing the Composer console locally in the data center.

After remote access to a Composer2 iLO is configured:

  • You can use the iLO Integrated Remote Console (iLO IRC) to access the Composer2 physical console. The physical console provides access to the HPE OneView maintenance console. The Composer2 iLO has an independent IP address and is accessible even when the Composer2 is not available.

  • You can mount a virtual USB drive on the Composer2 through iLO and perform critical operations such as reimage, restore, backup, and create support dump without physically accessing the appliance.

  • You can power on or off the appliance.
