iLO driver support

iLO is an independent microprocessor running an embedded operating system. The architecture ensures that most iLO functionality is available, regardless of the host operating system. The iLO drivers enable software such as HPONCFG and the Agentless Management Service to communicate with iLO. The installed OS and system configuration determine the installation requirements.

Linux

When you use Linux with iLO, the following driver is available: hpilo 1.5.0 and later.

This driver manages agent and tool application access to iLO.

hpilo is part of the Linux kernel for all the server operating systems supported by this version of the iLO firmware.

hpilo is loaded automatically at startup.
