iLO Federation group memberships for a set of iLO systems
When you add group memberships for multiple iLO systems at one time, you specify the privileges that
members of the group have for configuring the other members of the group.
For example, if you configure
group2
based on the
DEFAULT
group, and you assign the Virtual Power
and Reset privilege, the users of iLO systems in
group2
can change the power state of all the servers in
the group.
You can add group memberships for multiple iLO systems on the
Group Configuration
page.
You can perform the following tasks for a group of iLO systems:
• Create a group with the same members as an existing group, but with different privileges.
• Create a group with members that you select by using the iLO Federation filters.
iLO Federation group privileges
When an iLO system is added to a group, the group can be granted the following privileges:
•
Login

•
Remote Console
—Group members can remotely access the managed server Remote Console,
including video, keyboard, and mouse control.
