iLO Federation

iLO Federation enables you to manage multiple servers from one system using the iLO web interface.
When configured for iLO Federation, iLO uses multicast discovery and peer-to-peer communication to enable
communication between the systems in iLO Federation groups.
When you navigate to one of the iLO Federation pages, a data request is sent from the iLO system running the web
interface to its peers, and from those peers to other peers until all data for the selected iLO Federation group is retrieved.
iLO supports the following features:
• Group health status—View server health and model information.
• Group virtual media—Connect URL-based media for access by a group of servers.
• Group power control—Manage the power status of a group of servers.
• Group power capping—Set dynamic power caps for a group of servers.
• Group firmware update—Update the firmware of a group of servers.
• Group license installation—Enter a license key to activate iLO licensed features on a group of servers.
• Group configuration—Add iLO Federation group memberships for multiple iLO systems.
Any user can view information on iLO Federation pages, but a license is required for using the following features: Group
virtual media, Group power control, Group power capping, Group configuration, and Group firmware update.

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 (https://www.hpe.com/support/
restfulinterface/docs).
For specific information about automating tasks using the iLO RESTful API, see libraries and sample code at https://
www.hpe.com/info/redfish.

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. The RESTful Interface
Tool offers an interactive mode, a scriptable mode, and a file-based mode similar to CONREP to help decrease automation
times.
