iLO MP
The Integrated Lights-Out Management Processor (iLO MP) for entry-level PA-RISC is an autonomous
management subsystem embedded directly on the server. It is the foundation of server High Availability
(HA), embedded server, and fault management. It also provides system administrators secure remote
management capabilities regardless of server status or location. The iLO MP is available whenever the
system is connected to a power source, even if the server main power button is in the off position.
Remote access is the key to maximizing efficiency of administration and troubleshooting for enterprise
servers. Integrity servers have been designed so all administrative functions that can be performed locally on
the machine can also be performed remotely. iLO enables remote access to the operating system console,
control over the server power and hardware reset functionality, and works with the server to enable remote
network booting through a variety of methods.
HP has used several different names to describe the management functionality embedded in their servers,
including the “management processor.” In addition, HP uses the term “management processor” to refer to any
embedded microprocessor that manages a system. Management processor is a descriptive term (such as
“server”), and iLO is a brand name, or label (such as “Integrity”).
For complete information on the iLO MP, see the HP Integrity and HP 9000 Integrated Lights-Out
Management Processor Operations Guide.
