Integrated Lights-Out Advanced Management
Integrated Lights-Out Advanced (iLO Advanced) is a standard component of selected
ProLiant server blades. The iLO Advanced subsystem provides server health and
remote server blade manageability. The iLO Advanced subsystem features are
accessed from a network client PC using a supported Web browser. In addition to
other features, iLO Advanced provides keyboard, mouse, and video (text and
graphics) capability for a server blade, regardless of the state of the host operating
system or host server blade.
The iLO Advanced subsystem includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure
memory, and a dedicated network interface. This design makes iLO Advanced
independent of the host server blade and its operating system. The iLO Advanced
subsystem provides remote access to any authorized network client, sends alerts, and
provides other server blade management functions.
Using a supported Web browser, you can:
Remotely access the console of the host server blade, including all text mode and
graphics mode screens with full keyboard and mouse controls.
