ILO technology (HP blade servers) integrated Lights Out
Integrated Lights-Out, or iLo, is an embedded server management technology exclusive to Hewlett-Packard but similar in functionality to the Lights out management (LOM) technology of other vendors.
iLO makes it possible to perform activities on a HP server from a remote location. The iLO card has a separate network connection (and its own IP address) to which one can connect via HTTPS. Possible options are:
* reset the server (in case the server doesn’t respond anymore via the normal network card) * power-up the server (possible to do this from a remote location, even if the server is shut down) * take over the screen * mount remote physical CD/DVD drive or image. * access the server’s IML (Integrated Management Log) * remote console (in some cases however an ‘Advanced license’ maybe required for some of the utilities to work)
