The Active Health System provides: • Continuous health monitoring of over 1600 system parameters • Logging of all configuration changes • Consolidated health and service alerts with precise time stamps • Agentless monitoring that does not affect application performance For more information about the Active Health System, see the iLO user guide at the following website: https:// www.hpe.com/support/ilo-docs.
Page 135: Ilo Service Port
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.
Page 136: Ilo Restful Api
For more information about the iLO Service Port, see the iLO user guide at the following website: https://www.hpe.com/ support/ilo-docs. 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.

• Support for boot partitions larger than 2.2 TB. Such configurations could previously only be used for boot drives when using RAID solutions. • Secure Boot that enables the system firmware, option card firmware, operating systems, and software collaborate to enhance platform security.
Page 140: Launching The Embedded Uefi Shell
• Preboot UEFI Shell applications • OS UEFI boot loaders When Secure Boot is enabled: • Firmware components and operating systems with boot loaders must have an appropriate digital signature to execute during the boot process. • Operating systems must support Secure Boot and have an EFI boot loader signed with one of the authorized keys to boot.
Page 141: Hpe Smart Storage Administrator
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. Some of the advanced tasks are available in only one format.
Page 142: Redundant Rom Support
For additional security, external USB functionality can be disabled through USB options in UEFI System Utilities. Redundant ROM support The server enables you to upgrade or configure the ROM safely with redundant ROM support. The server has a single ROM that acts as two separate ROM images. In the standard implementation, one side of the ROM contains the current ROM program version, while the other side of the ROM contains a backup version.
