Agentless Management Service

• AMS is installed automatically if you use the Intelligent Provisioning Recommended installation
method for Windows installation.
• When you install AMS on Windows systems, the Agentless Management Service Control Panel is
installed. You can use the Control Panel to configure SNMP settings, to enable or disable AMS, and to
remove AMS.
• AMS writes operating system configuration information and critical events to the Active Health System
Log.
• Install the iLO Channel Interface Driver before installing AMS.
• With iLO 5, AMS includes the optional System Management Assistant. You can use the System
Management Assistant if you want to use an OS-based SNMP service to handle information provided
by iLO Agentless Management and AMS.
• If AMS is not installed:
◦ iLO does not display a full set of data on the component information pages, which are included in
the System Information and Firmware & OS Software sections of the navigation tree.
◦ iLO does not have access to OS-specific information.
