For the detailed procedure, refer to "iLO 5 User's Guide".
iLO monitors the temperature inside the server and controls the
cooling fan to cool the server appropriately. It also monitors the
statuses of the network and many of the components such as the
cooling fan, memory, processor, power supply unit, storage, and
other devices that are installed in the server. In addition to these,
the versions of the installed firmware and software are also
monitored.
Agentless Management settings enable services to operate in the
iLO firmware instead of the host OS. It also enables management
without using any resources from the memory and processor on
the host OS. In addition to monitoring the important internal
subsystems, iLO can send an SNMP report directly to the
management software, such as NEC ESMPRO Manager even
when the host OS is not installed.
IML can display events occurred on the server and set the
notifications, such as SNMP report, Email alert, and Remote
syslog .
Downloads the Active Health System log. If necessary, the AHS
log file may need to be sent to NEC, or the maintenance staff may
collect it from you.
The iLO linkage function enables detection and management of
multiple servers simultaneously without using management
software.
You can access the server safely at high speed from a remote
console located anywhere in the world as long as the network is
connected to the server.
You can remotely mount a high-performance virtual media device
on the server.
This function controls the power supply state of the management
target server safely.
By using a GUI or CLI of the multiple tasks including automation
of deployment or provisioning, you can use the power supply
control and the virtual media.
This function monitors the power consumption, sets the upper limit
of the power consumption of the supported server.
You can log in to iLO via a local or directory service user account.
You can set the Kerberos authentication here. The Zero sign-in
button will be added to the login screen.
