iLO 3 Standard Blade Edition technology
The iLO 3 subsystem is a standard component of selected ProLiant servers that provides server health and
remote server manageability. The iLO 3 subsystem includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory,
and a dedicated network interface. This design makes iLO 3 independent of the host server and its
operating system.
In addition to remote management features, iLO 3 is also responsible for managing the health of the
ProLiant server. The intelligence of iLO 3 manages the Sea of Sensors thermal control, directs the Dynamic
Power Capping technology, and monitors the health of server components.
The iLO 3 subsystem provides secure remote access from any authorized network client. The
enhancements to iLO 3 enable customers to get work done faster by providing turbo-charged remote
access performance, a streamlined user experience, and enhanced standards support.
Using iLO 3, you can do the following:
•
Access a high-performance and secure Remote Console to the server from anywhere in the world.
•
Use the shared iLO 3 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.
•
Send alerts from iLO 3 regardless of the state of the host server.
•
Access advanced troubleshooting features through the iLO 3 interface.
For more information about iLO 3 features (which may require an iLO Advanced Pack or iLO Advanced
for BladeSystem license), see the iLO 3 documentation on the Documentation CD or on the HP website
