iLO and iLO 2 technology
The iLO subsystem is a standard component of selected ProLiant servers that provides server health and
remote server manageability. The iLO or iLO 2 subsystem includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure
memory, and a dedicated network interface. This design makes iLO or iLO 2 independent of the host server
and its operating system. The iLO or iLO 2 subsystem provides remote access to any authorized network
client, sends alerts, and provides other server management functions.
Using iLO or iLO 2, you can:
•
Remotely power up, power down, or reboot the host server.
•
Send alerts from iLO or iLO 2 regardless of the state of the host server.
•
Access advanced troubleshooting features through the iLO or iLO 2 interface.
•
Diagnose iLO or iLO 2 using HP SIM through a web browser and SNMP alerting.
For more information about iLO or iLO 2 features (which may require an iLO Advanced Pack or iLO
Advanced for BladeSystem license), see the iLO or iLO 2 documentation on the Documentation CD or on the
HP website (

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.
In addition to remote management features, iLO 3 is also responsible for managing the health of the ProLiant
server. The intelligence of iLO 3 manages the Sea of Sensors thermal control, directs the Dynamic Power
Capping technology, and monitors the health of server components.
The iLO 3 subsystem provides secure remote access from any authorized network client. The enhancements
to iLO 3 enable customers to get work done faster by providing turbo-charged remote access performance,
a streamlined user experience, and enhanced standards support.
Using iLO 3, you can do the following:
•
Access a high-performance and secure Remote Console to the server from anywhere in the world.
•
Use the shared iLO 3 Remote Console to collaborate with up to six server administrators.
•
Remotely mount high-performance Virtual Media devices to the server.
•
Securely and remotely control the power state of the managed server.
•
Send alerts from iLO 3 regardless of the state of the host server.
