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.
iLO Amplifier Pack
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.
For more information about iLO Amplifier Pack, see the iLO Amplifier Pack User Guide at the following website: http://

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.
Intelligent Provisioning 3.30 and later includes HPE Rapid Setup Software. 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.
NOTE: After you have selected a mode, you must reprovision the server to change the mode that launches when you boot
to F10.
Intelligent Provisioning prepares the system for installing original, licensed vendor media and Hewlett Packard Enterprise-
branded versions of OS software. Intelligent Provisioning also prepares the system to integrate optimized server support
software from the Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP). SPP is a comprehensive systems software and firmware solution for
ProLiant servers, server blades, their enclosures, and HPE Synergy compute modules. These components are preloaded
with a basic set of firmware and OS components that are installed along with Intelligent Provisioning.
