Product QuickSpecs For more information about product features, specifications, options, configurations, and compatibility, see the product QuickSpecs on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/qs). Active Health System Viewer Active Health System Viewer (AHSV) is an online tool used to read, diagnose, and resolve server issues quickly using AHS uploaded data.
System Viewer documentation at the following website: http://www.hpe.com/support/ahsv-docs. HPE iLO 5 iLO 5 is a remote server management processor embedded on the system boards of HPE ProLiant servers and Synergy compute modules. iLO enables the monitoring and controlling of servers from remote locations.
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: •...
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.
Management Security HPE ProLiant Gen10 servers are built with some of the industry's most advanced security capabilities, out of the box, with a foundation of secure embedded management applications and firmware. The management security provided by HPE embedded management products enables secure support of modern workloads, protecting your components from unauthorized access and unapproved use.
Premium Security Edition licenses provides security features that help ensure protection, detection, and recovery from advanced cyber-attacks. For more information, see the HPE Gen10 Server Security Reference Guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Information Library at http://www.hpe.com/info/EIL. For information about the iLO Advanced Premium Security Edition license, see http://www.hpe.com/ servers/ilopremium.
Operating systems must support Secure Boot and have an EFI boot loader signed with one of the authorized keys to boot. For more information about supported operating systems, see http:// www.hpe.com/servers/ossupport. You can customize the certificates embedded in the UEFI BIOS by adding or removing your own certificates, either from a management console directly attached to the server, or by remotely connecting to the server using the iLO Remote Console.
HPE Smart Storage Administrator HPE SSA is the main tool for configuring arrays on HPE Smart Array SR controllers. It exists in three interface formats: the HPE SSA GUI, the HPE SSA CLI, and HPE SSA Scripting. All formats provide support for configuration tasks.
Using one of multiple methods, you can run HPE SSA before launching the host operating system. In offline mode, users can configure or maintain detected and supported devices, such as optional Smart Array controllers and integrated Smart Array controllers. Some HPE SSA features are only available in the offline environment, such as setting the boot controller and boot volume.
