About the iLO mobile app
The HP iLO mobile app provides access to the remote console of your HP ProLiant server from your
Android device. The mobile app interacts directly with the iLO processor on HP ProLiant servers,
providing total control of the server at all times as long as the server is plugged in. For example, you
can access the server when it is in a healthy state, or when it is powered off with a blank hard drive.
As an IT administrator, you can troubleshoot problems and perform software deployments from almost
anywhere.
The HP iLO mobile app allows you to perform the following tasks:
•
Operate the server power switch.
•
Use the Remote Console to interact with the operating system, including BIOS and ROM
configuration changes.
•
Mount an ISO CD/DVD image from an image file hosted on a web server (http or https). The disk
image is available on the server as a USB CD/DVD drive. You can boot from the CD/DVD image
and deploy an operating system.
•
Launch HP iLO scripts and monitor their progress.
•
Access the HP iLO web interface.
•
Store the list of servers you want to manage.

You must have network access to the iLOs you want to manage. When connecting from the cellular

You can connect through a firewall using a VPN or you can open/forward the following ports:
◦
HTTP: Port 80
◦
HTTPS: Port 443
◦
Remote Console: Port 17990
NOTE:
The ports listed in this section are the default values. You can view or change the port
settings on the Administration
→Access Settings page in the iLO web interface.
For information about how to use VPN functionality with Android, see your device user guide.

network, monitor your data use if you do not have an unlimited data plan. Consider using Wi-Fi
when possible.
