recommend installing this product if you have eDirectory servers with a version earlier than
eDirectory 8.6.1. Before installing snap-ins and schema extensions for eDirectory, read and have

Required Schema Software

The iLO 2 requires specific software to extend the schema and provide snap-ins to manage the
iLO 2 network. An HP Smart Component that contains the schema installer and the management
snap-in installer is available for download from the HP website at
integrityiLO.
The two components you need for Integrity iLO 2 directory integration are the Schema Extender
Utility and the Snap-in Installer.
