Agentless Management and AMS
Agentless Management uses out-of-band communication for increased security and stability.
With Agentless Management, health monitoring and alerting is built into the system and begins
working the moment a power cord is connected to the server. This feature runs on the iLO
hardware, independent of the operating system and processor.
To collect information from devices and components that cannot communicate directly with iLO,
install the Agentless Management Service (AMS).
