Configuring iLO Management settings

With iLO 3 and earlier, SNMP management used the HP Insight Management Agents running on
the server operating system. With iLO 4, you can use either Agentless Management or the Insight
Management Agents. The default configuration is to use Agentless Management.

iLO 4 Agentless Management uses out-of-band communication for increased security and stability.
With Agentless Management, health monitoring and alerting is built into the system and begins
working the moment a power cord is connected to the server. This feature runs on the iLO hardware,
independent of the operating system and processor. Additional operating system data is collected
when AMS is installed.

The Management – SNMP Settings page allows you to configure the iLO settings for SNMP, SNMP
alerts, and Insight Manager integration.

You must have the Configure iLO Settings privilege to change these settings.

Depending on your configuration, you might need to install additional software. For more
information, see

“Installing AMS or the Insight Management Agents” (page 107)
