Using iLO 3

The iLO 3 subsystem is a standard component of selected server blades that monitors blade health
and provides remote server manageability. The iLO 3 subsystem includes an intelligent
microprocessor, secure memory, and a dedicated network interface. This design makes iLO 3
independent of the host server and operating system. The iLO 3 subsystem provides remote access
to any authorized network client, sends alerts, and provides other server management functions.
Using iLO 3, you can:
Remotely power on, power off, or reboot the host server.
Subscribe to we-man alerts from iLO 3 regardless of the state of the host server.
Access advanced troubleshooting features through the iLO 3 interface.
Access Remote Console and vMedia functionality.
