you access, deploy, and manage your iLO 3 and iLO 4 servers from select smartphones and mobile devices. HP iLO Management Engine and Agentless Management Service The HP iLO Management Engine enables base hardware monitoring and alerting capability without the complexity of OS-based agents. And it's available the moment you connect a power cord and Ethernet cable to the server. HP Agentless Management Service is an optional add-on utility that provides OS configuration data and additional subsystem coverage. HP Active Health System The HP Active Health System is a diagnostic tool that continuously monitors and records every change in server hardware and system configuration. The Active Health System assists in diagnosing problems and rapidly resolving system failures. Until now, a system issue without an obvious root cause required using multiple diagnostics tools to investigate the cause. These diagnostic tools may provide the necessary information, but you can only run them after an issue has developed. Another concern is that the tools often analyze subsystems individually instead of collectively. HP Active Health System removes these limitations. HP Active Health System runs on iLO, so there is no impact on server performance. Active Health System logs every change in hardware and system configuration, variations in temperature and voltage, and every alert. HP support engineers can use this log to solve even the most elusive, intermittent issues in a lot less time. More important, you will spend less time resolving issues. HP Intelligent Provisioning HP Intelligent Provisioning provides out-of-the box, single-server deployment and configuration without using media discs. To develop Intelligent Provisioning, we combined the best parts of SmartStart, ProLiant Support Packs, and HP Smart Update Manager. Then we enclosed them in an intuitive user interface and embedded them in a NAND flash chip on the motherboard. All the up-to-date tools, drivers, and agents you need to set up, deploy, and maintain your system are there when you power up any ProLiant Gen8 server. You no longer need system and firmware CDs. You only need the OS and application discs. This makes deploying ProLiant Gen8 servers up to three times faster than deploying previous-generation servers. If some time passes before you deploy a Gen8 server, you can use the built-in update manager to access HP.com or your local repository, and download the latest updates. You can use this same update function to maintain your system. Embedded HP Remote Support (coming soon) In every ProLiant Gen8 server, we have enabled HP iLO to access HP Insight Remote Support software. HP Insight Remote Support Software delivers secure 24/7 support for HP servers and storage. We can remotely monitor your systems for hardware failures using secure technology that's been proven at thousands of companies around the world. In many cases, our proactive monitoring and alerting can help you avoid problems before they occur. Insight Remote Support can start working for you after a few keystrokes on a single activation screen. For more information, go to www.hp.com/go/iLO. 11
