Using HP iLO Federation Management with Intelligent Provisioning

The HP iLO Federation Management feature allows you to manage multiple servers at one time.
iLO Federation Management provides a cloud-based management system for any HP server
environment requiring scale-able and efficient server management. iLO Federation Management
lets you unify the system management of thousands of servers, regardless of location, from one
system running the iLO web UI (iLO 4 1.40 and later) for any HP ProLiant Gen8 server in an HP
iLO Federation Management group.

To use Intelligent Provisioning in combination with iLO Federation Management, you first configure
iLO Federation Management in iLO 4. See the HP iLO 4 User Guide for instructions.
