iLO Management Processor
The Integrated Lights-Out Management Processor (iLO MP) for entry-level Integrity servers is
an autonomous management subsystem embedded directly on the server. It is the foundation of
the server’s High Availability (HA), embedded server, and fault management. It also provides
system administrators secure remote management capabilities regardless of server status or
location. The iLO MP is available whenever the system is connected to a power source, even if
the server main power switch is in the off position.
HP has used several different names over the years to describe the management functionality
embedded in their servers, including “the management processor.” In addition, HP uses the term
“management processor” to refer to any embedded microprocessor that manages a system.
Management processor is a descriptive term (such as “server”), and iLO, is a brand name, or
label (such as “Integrity”).
Remote access is the key to maximizing efficiency of administration and troubleshooting for
enterprise servers. Integrity servers have been designed so all administrative functions that can be
performed locally on the machine, can also be performed remotely. iLO enables remote access to
the operating system console, control over the server’s power and hardware reset functionality,
and works with the server to enable remote network booting through a variety of methods. For
complete information on the iLO MP, see the HP Integrity and HP 9000 Integrated Lights-Out
Management Processor Operations Guide.
