operating system to communicate with iLO. Install this driver in all configurations.
•

includes the following components:
◦
hpqilo3core provides iLO Management Controller Driver support.
◦
hpqilo3service provides the HP ProLiant Health Monitor Service and HP ProLiant
System Shutdown Service.
◦
hpqilo3whea is a helper service for Windows Hardware Error Architecture, which
passes information between iLO and the operating system in the event of a hardware
fault.
IMPORTANT: The Management Controller Driver Package is required to support Automatic
Server Recovery and the HP Insight Management Agents or HP Insight Management WBEM

Linux device driver support
When you are using Linux with iLO, the following drivers are available:
•
HP ProLiant Channel Interface Device Driver (hpilo)—This driver manages agent and tool
application access to iLO.
•
HP System Health Application and Command Line Utilities (hp-health)—A collection of
applications and tools that enables monitoring of fans, power supplies, temperature sensors,
and other management events. This RPM contains the hpasmd, hpasmlited, hpasmpld,
and hpasmxld daemons.
IMPORTANT: These drivers are standard for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11, Red Hat 5, and
Red Hat 6.
For open-source Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, and others), the hpilo driver is part
of the Linux kernel, so the driver is loaded automatically at startup.
Use the following commands to load the iLO drivers:
rpm -ivh hpilo-<d.vv.v-pp.Linux_version.arch>.rpm
rpm -ivh hp-health-<d.vv.v-pp.Linux_version.arch>.rpm
Where <d> is the Linux distribution and version, <vv.v-pp> are version numbers, and <arch>
is the architecture (i386 or x86_64).
Use the following commands to remove the iLO drivers:
rpm -e hpilo
rpm -e hp-health
