Using the HP Insight Management Agents
The HP Insight Management Agents support a browser interface for access to run-time management
data through the HP System Management Homepage. The HP System Management Homepage is
a secure web-based interface that consolidates and simplifies the management of individual servers
and operating systems. By aggregating data from HP Insight Management Agents and other
management tools, the HP System Management Homepage provides an intuitive interface to review
in-depth hardware configuration and status data, performance metrics, system thresholds, and
software version control information.
The agents can automatically provide the link to iLO, or you can manually enter the link on the
Administration
→Management page. For more information, see

Using the Integrated Remote Console
The iLO Integrated Remote Console is a graphical remote console that turns a supported browser
into a virtual desktop, allowing full control over the display, keyboard, and mouse of the host
server. Using the Remote Console also provides access to the remote file system and network drives.
With Integrated Remote Console access, you can observe POST boot messages as the remote host
server restarts, and initiate ROM-based setup routines to configure the remote host server hardware.
When you are installing operating systems remotely, the Integrated Remote Console (if licensed)
enables you to view and control the host server monitor throughout the installation process.
iLO provides the following Integrated Remote Console access options:

to the standard features, the .NET IRC supports Console Capture, Shared Console, Virtual
Folder, and Scripted Media.
•
Java IRC—Provides access to the system KVM, allowing control of Virtual Power and Virtual
Media from a Java-based console. In addition to the standard features, the Java IRC includes
the iLO disk image tool and Scripted Media.
