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.

Integrated Management Log
The IML records hundreds of events and stores them in an easy-to-view form. The IML timestamps each event with one-
minute granularity.
You can view recorded events in the IML in several ways, including the following:
•
From within HPE SIM
•
From within the UEFI System Utilities
•
From within the Embedded UEFI shell
•
From within the iLO web interface
Intelligent Provisioning
Intelligent Provisioning is a single-server deployment tool embedded in ProLiant servers and HPE Synergy compute modules.
Intelligent Provisioning simplifies server setup, providing a reliable and consistent way to deploy servers.
NOTE:
•
Rapid Setup Software is only available on the ProLiant 300 Series servers or below. When you launch F10 mode from the
POST screen, you are prompted to select whether you want to enter the Intelligent Provisioning or HPE Rapid Setup
Software mode.
•
After you have selected a mode, you must reprovision the server to change the mode that launches when you boot to F10.
