The HP iLO subsystem is a standard component of selected HP ProLiant servers that simplifies initial server setup, server health monitoring, power and thermal optimization, and remote server administration. The HP iLO subsystem includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory, and a dedicated network interface. This design makes HP iLO independent of the host server and its operating system.
HP iLO enables and manages the Active Health System and also features Agentless Management. All key internal subsystems are monitored by HP iLO. SNMP alerts are sent directly by HP iLO regardless of the host operating system or even if no host operating system is installed.
HP Insight Remote Support software is also available in HP iLO with no operating system software, drivers, or agents.
