HPE iLO
The iLO subsystem is a standard component of ProLiant servers that simplifies initial server setup, server
health monitoring, power and thermal optimization, and remote server administration. The iLO subsystem
includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory, and a dedicated network interface. This design
makes iLO independent of the host server and its operating system.
iLO enables and manages the Active Health System (on page 78) and also features Agentless
Management. All key internal subsystems are monitored by iLO. If enabled, SNMP alerts are sent directly
by iLO regardless of the host operating system or even if no host operating system is installed.
Embedded remote support software is available on ProLiant Gen8 and later servers with iLO 4,
regardless of the operating system software and without installing OS agents on the server.
Using iLO, you can do the following:
