HP iLO 4 Release Notes

Description
The HP iLO subsystem is a standard component of 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 4 includes the following key features:
• HP Active Health System—Monitors and records changes in the server hardware and system
configuration.
• Agentless Management—Provides true Agentless Management with SNMP alerts from HP iLO,
regardless of the state of the host server.
• Remote Support—Allows Gen8 server Insight Remote Support registration from iLO, regardless
of the operating system software and without the need for additional host software, drivers, or
agents.
Update recommendation
Recommended. Update to this firmware version if your system is affected by one of the documented
fixes or to take advantage of the enhanced functionality provided by this version.
