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 an iLO Federation group.
When an iLO Federation page loads, 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 the servers in an iLO Federation group.
•
Group power control—Manage the power status of the servers in an iLO Federation group.
•
Group power capping—Set dynamic power caps for the servers in an iLO Federation group.
•
Group firmware update—Update the firmware of the servers in an iLO Federation group.
•
Group license installation—Enter a license key to activate iLO licensed features on the servers in an iLO
Federation group.
•
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 Service Port
The Service Port is a USB port with the label iLO on supported ProLiant Gen10 servers and Synergy Gen10
compute modules.
To find out if your server model supports this feature, see the server specifications document at the following
website: http://www.hpe.com/info/qs.
When you have physical access to a server, you can use the Service Port to do the following:
•
Download the Active Health System Log to a supported USB flash drive.
When you use this feature, the connected USB flash drive is not accessible by the host operating system.
•
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).
Some servers, such as the XL170r, require an adapter to connect a USB to Ethernet adapter to the iLO
Service Port.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends the HPE Micro USB to USB Adapter (part number 789904-B21).
