You can also retrieve the Service Port status by using a REST client and the iLO RESTful API.
•
You cannot use the Service Port to boot any device within the server, or the server itself.
•
You cannot access the server by connecting to the Service Port.
•
You cannot access the connected device from the server.
For more information about the iLO Service Port, see the iLO user guide at the following website: http://

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 (http://www.hpe.com/
info/restfulinterface/docs).
For specific information about automating tasks using the iLO RESTful API, see libraries and sample code at
http://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.
For more information, see the following website: http://www.hpe.com/info/resttool.

The iLO Amplifier Pack is an advanced server inventory, firmware and driver update solution that enables
rapid discovery, detailed inventory reporting, firmware, and driver updates by leveraging iLO advanced
functionality. The iLO Amplifier Pack performs rapid server discovery and inventory for thousands of
supported servers for the purpose of updating firmware and drivers at scale.
