Main functions of iLO
Description
Server status monitoring
iLO monitors the temperature inside the server and controls the
cooling fan to cool the server appropriately. It also monitors the
statuses of the network and many of the components such as the
cooling fan, memory, processor, power supply unit, storage, and
other devices that are installed in the server. In addition to these,
the versions of the installed firmware and software are also
monitored.
Agentless management
Agentless Management settings enable services to operate in the
iLO firmware instead of the host OS. It also enables management
without using any resources from the memory and processor on
the host OS. In addition to monitoring the important internal
subsystems, iLO can send an SNMP report directly to the
management software, such as NEC ESMPRO Manager even
when the host OS is not installed.
Integrated management log (IML)
IML can display events occurred on the server and set the
notifications, such as SNMP report, Email alert, and Remote
syslog .
Active health system log (AHS Log)
Downloads the Active Health System log. If necessary, the AHS
log file may need to be sent to NEC, or the maintenance staff may
collect it from you.
iLO linkage management
The iLO linkage function enables detection and management of
multiple servers simultaneously without using management
software.
Integrated remote control (IRC)
You can access the server safely at high speed from a remote
console located anywhere in the world as long as the network is
connected to the server.
Virtual media
You can remotely mount a high-performance virtual media device
on the server.
Virtual power control
