iLO makes it possible to perform activities on an 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 network card)
  • Power-up the server (possible to do this from a remote location, even if the server is shut down)
  • Remote system console (in some cases however an 'Advanced license' may be required for some of the utilities to work)
  • Mount remote physical CD/DVD drive or image (virtual media), depends on license.
  • Access the server's Integrated Management Log (IML)
  • Can be manipulated remotely through XML-based Remote Insight Board Command Language (RIBCL)
  • Full command-line interface support through RS-232 port (shared with system), though the inability to enter function keys prevents certain operations
  • SSH remote network access to iLO card supporting public key authentication, 1024 bit DSA key[1],[2] at least since iLO 3
  • iLO Federation[3]
  • Two factor authentication[4]
  • Remote syslog[5], depends on license.

iLO provides some other utilities virtual power and a remote console. iLO is either embedded on the system board, or available as a PCI card.
