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.
To learn more about the iLO RESTful API, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://
www.hpe.com/support/restfulinterface/docs).
For specific information about automating tasks using the iLO RESTful API, see libraries and sample
code at http://www.hpe.com/info/redfish.
RESTful Interface Tool
The RESTful Interface Tool (iLOREST) is a scripting tool that allows you to automate HPE server
management tasks. It provides a set of simplified commands that take advantage of the iLO RESTful API.
You can install the tool on your computer for remote use or install it locally on a server with a Windows or
Linux Operating System. The RESTful Interface Tool offers an interactive mode, a scriptable mode, and a
file-based mode similar to CONREP to help decrease automation times.
For more information, see the following website: http://www.hpe.com/info/resttool.
iLO Amplifier Pack
The iLO Amplifier Pack is an advanced server inventory, firmware and driver update solution that enables
rapid discovery, detailed inventory reporting, firmware, and driver updates by leveraging iLO advanced
functionality. The iLO Amplifier Pack performs rapid server discovery and inventory for thousands of
supported servers for the purpose of updating firmware and drivers at scale.
For more information about iLO Amplifier Pack, see the iLO Amplifier Pack User Guide at the following
website: http://www.hpe.com/support/ilo-ap-ug-en.
Integrated Management Log
The IML records hundreds of events and stores them in an easy-to-view form. The IML timestamps each
event with one-minute granularity.
You can view recorded events in the IML in several ways, including the following:
• From within HPE SIM
• From within the UEFI System Utilities
• From within the Embedded UEFI shell
• From within the iLO web interface
Intelligent Provisioning
Intelligent Provisioning is a single-server deployment tool embedded in ProLiant servers and HPE
Synergy compute modules. Intelligent Provisioning simplifies server setup, providing a reliable and
consistent way to deploy servers.
Intelligent Provisioning prepares the system for installing original, licensed vendor media and Hewlett
Packard Enterprise-branded versions of OS software. Intelligent Provisioning also prepares the system to
integrate optimized server support software from the Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP). SPP is a
comprehensive systems software and firmware solution for ProLiant servers, server blades, their
enclosures, and HPE Synergy compute modules. These components are preloaded with a basic set of
firmware and OS components that are installed along with Intelligent Provisioning.
