Integrated Lights-Out 3 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. The iLO 3 subsystem provides remote access to any authorized network client, sends alerts, and
provides other server management functions.
Using iLO 3, you can:
•
Remotely power up, power down, or reboot the host server.
•
Send alerts from iLO 3 regardless of the state of the host server.
•
Access advanced troubleshooting features through the iLO 3 interface.
•
Diagnose iLO 3 using HP SIM through a web browser and SNMP alerting.
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
