iLO Service Port
The Service Port is a USB port with the label iLO on the front of ProLiant Gen10 servers and Synergy Gen10
compute modules.
When you have physical access to a server, you can use the Service Port to do the following:
•
Download the Active Health System Log to a supported USB flash drive.
When you use this feature, the connected USB flash drive is not accessible by the host operating system.
•
Connect a client (such as a laptop) with a supported USB to Ethernet adapter to access the iLO web
interface, remote console, CLI, iLO RESTful API, or scripts.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends the HPE USB to Ethernet Adapter (part number Q7Y55A).
When you use the iLO Service Port:
•
Actions are logged in the iLO Event Log.
•
The server UID blinks to indicate the Service Port status.
You can also retrieve the Service Port status by using a REST client and the iLO RESTful API.
•
You cannot use the Service Port to boot any device within the server, or the server itself.
•
You cannot access the server by connecting to the Service Port.
•
You cannot access the connected device from the server.
For more information about the iLO Service Port, see the iLO user guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise
website.
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/
info/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.
