ProLiant BL p-Class Advanced Management
iLO Advanced is a standard component of ProLiant BL p-Class server blades
that provides server health and remote server blade manageability. Its features
are accessed from a network client device using a supported Web browser. In
addition to other features, iLO Advanced provides keyboard, mouse, and video
(text and graphics) capability for a server blade, regardless of the state of the host
operating system or host server blade.
iLO includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory, and a dedicated
network interface. This design makes iLO independent of the host server blade
and its operating system. iLO provides remote access to any authorized network
client, sends alerts, and provides other server blade management functions.
Using a supported Web browser, you can:
Remotely access the console of the host server blade, including all text mode
and graphics mode screens with full keyboard and mouse controls.
Remotely power up, power down, or reboot the host server blade.
Remotely boot a host server blade to a virtual diskette image to perform a
ROM upgrade or install an operating system.
Send alerts from iLO Advanced regardless of the state of the host server
blade.
Access advanced troubleshooting features provided by iLO Advanced.
Launch a Web browser, use SNMP alerting, and diagnose the server blade
using HP Systems Insight Manager.
Configure static IP bay settings for the dedicated iLO management NICs on
each server blade in an enclosure for faster deployment.
