HP iLO Management Engine

The HP iLO Management Engine is a set of embedded management features supporting the complete lifecycle of the server, from initial deployment through ongoing management.

HP iLO

The HP iLO subsystem is a standard component of selected HP ProLiant servers that simplifies initial server setup, server health monitoring, power and thermal optimization, and remote server administration. The HP iLO subsystem includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory, and a dedicated network interface. This design makes HP iLO independent of the host server and its operating system.

HP iLO enables and manages the Active Health System on page 81 and also features Agentless Management. All key internal subsystems are monitored by HP iLO. SNMP alerts are sent directly by HP iLO regardless of the host operating system or even if no host operating system is installed.

HP Insight Remote Support software is also available in HP iLO with no operating system software, drivers, or agents.

Using HP iLO, you can do the following:

●Access a high-performance and secure Remote Console to the server from anywhere in the world.

●Use the shared HP iLO Remote Console to collaborate with up to six server administrators.

●Remotely mount high-performance Virtual Media devices to the server.

●Securely and remotely control the power state of the managed server.

●Have true Agentless Management with SNMP alerts from HP iLO regardless of the state of the host server.

●Access Active Health System troubleshooting features through the HP iLO interface.

●Subscribe to HP Insight Remote Support software without installing any drivers or agents.

For more information about HP iLO features (which may require an iLO Advanced Pack or iLO Advanced for BladeSystem license), see the HP iLO documentation on the Documentation CD or on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/ilo/docs).

HP Active Health System provides the following features:

●Combined diagnostics tools/scanners

●Always on, continuous monitoring for increased stability and shorter downtimes

●Rich configuration history

●Health and service alerts

●Easy export and upload to Service and Support

The HP Active Health System monitors and records changes in the server hardware and system configuration. The Active Health System assists in diagnosing problems and delivering rapid resolution when server failures occur.
