iLO RESTful API
iLO includes the iLO RESTful API, which is Redfish API conformant. The iLO RESTful API is a
management interface that server management tools can use to perform configuration, inventory, and
monitoring tasks by sending basic HTTPS operations (GET, PUT, POST, DELETE, and PATCH) to the
iLO web server.
