Figure 1: A complete HP Agentless Management solution is illustrated. The HP Agentless Management solution brings several benefits, including: • Easy setup-After using either the iLO 4 GUI or the HP Scripting Toolkit to configure the SNMP communication parameters and trap destination, you can start monitoring core hardware. On ProLiant Gen 8 servers, you can install the HP Agentless Management Service using: HP Intelligent Provisioning, Service Pack for ProLiant, or the VMware offline bundles and custom image. The HP Agentless Management Service runs under the OS and uses the established HP iLO Device Driver interface to feed the OS-specific data to iLO. This data includes but is not limited to: - Host OS name and version - Host network port IP addresses - Installed HP software and verison numbers • Improved performance, security, and stability-The iLO Management Engine performs hardware management independently from the host processor and OS. This environment increases security and stability by moving the management software and possible vulnerabilities away from the host OS to the iLO Management Engine. It provides configuration, monitoring, and alerting data through the iLO NIC. This serves to partition the management network from the application data network without sacrificing a system network port. You do not need any additional network-based management protocols on the OS. This leaves the OS free from potential security vulnerabilities. 3
