The difference between HPE Moonshot iLO Chassis Management Firmware and HPE iLO 4
Moonshot iLO CM firmware is derived from HPE Integrated Lights-Out (iLO 4) firmware and the hardware it is hosted on (the Moonshot 1500 CM module) uses four iLO processors. The Moonshot iLO CM provides remote management and control (designed specifically for hyper scale environments), but just as Moonshot is different in many ways from a traditional ProLiant, the Moonshot iLO CM is different from iLO. Comparison of Moonshot iLO CM firmware to HPE iLO 4 highlights some differences based on current firmware versions.
