Software Management
Integrated Lights-Out
Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) is a standard feature of selected HP ProLiant servers.
iLO provides server health and remote server management. The iLO features can be
accessed from a network client using a standard Web browser. In addition to other
features, iLO provides keyboard, mouse, and video (text and graphics) capability for
a server, regardless of the state of the host operating system or host server.
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. Remote access is provided by iLO to any authorized
network client, and alert notification is supported along with other server
management functions.
Features
Integrated Lights-Out provides the following features:
• Virtual graphical remote console—Graphical remote console capability is
provided by iLO embedded hardware that turns a standard browser into a virtual
desktop, giving the user full control over the host server display, keyboard, and
mouse. The operating system-independent console supports text and graphic
modes, displaying remote host server activities such as shutdown and startup
operations.
• Virtual power button—Using any standard browser interface, iLO can be used to
remotely operate a host server power button. For example, if the host server is
off, you can turn it on from a remote console.
• Power cycle (reset)—If the remote host server is not responding, this feature
allows an administrator to initiate a cold reboot to bring the server back online.
