  1. Re: How to recover/retrieve lost ILO Advanced License Key? Your best best would be to contact the HPE Licensing group and see if they could help. Unless you have an Entitlement Order Number (EON) or an HPE Sales Order number, it may be challenging but still worth a shot.

I lost my own iLO 4 advanced license key, but you still have it on the server. I uploaded key into another server and it was accepted. The advanced license key could be used for 5 servers.

We use HP servers that have iLO in them, and I'm considering buying the advanced licenses for them to enable Remote Console functionality. I have a few questions though:

Are there different licenses for different server models or iLO versions? Or is there just a single 'iLO Advanced' license that can be applied to any server?

A quick google search showed me that licenses are available for sale on Amazon. There is a wide range of prices on amazon for what look like the same thing. If the licenses are all the same, why are some selling for $27 and others for $225 or $354? Are the cheap ones surplus licenses someone is selling off, or are they perhaps not legit? Is there any way to know whether an iLO Advanced license is legitimate or not?

Is an iLO advanced license permanently tied to the server hardware it is used on, or can it be moved/re-used on another server later? For example, when replacing a server, can it's iLO license be (legally) moved to the new server?

I see iLO advanced licenses with different support durations listed, such as 1 yr or 3 yr. I'm not sure what I'm missing here, why would one need a 24x7 support agreement for an iLO license? Much less one lasting 3 years?

Thanks!

Integrated Lights-Out, or iLO, is a proprietary embedded server management technology by Hewlett-Packard which provides out-of-band management facilities. The physical connection is an Ethernet port that can be found on most Proliant servers and microservers[1] of the 300 and above series.

iLO has similar functionality to the lights out management (LOM) technology offered by other vendors, for example Sun/Oracle's LOM port, Dell DRAC, the IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter and Cisco CIMC.

Features[edit]

iLO makes it possible to perform activities on an HP server from a remote location. The iLO card has a separate network connection (and its own IP address) to which one can connect via HTTPS. Possible options are:

  • Reset the server (in case the server doesn't respond anymore via the normal network card)
  • Power-up the server (possible to do this from a remote location, even if the server is shut down)
  • Remote system console (in some cases however an 'Advanced license' may be required for some of the utilities to work)
  • Mount remote physical CD/DVD drive or image
  • Access the server's Integrated Management Log (IML)
  • Can be manipulated remotely through XML-based Remote Insight Board Command Language (RIBCL)
  • Full command-line interface support through RS-232 port (shared with system), though the inability to enter function keys prevents certain operations

iLO provides some other utilities like virtual media (CD, floppy), virtual power and a remote console. iLO is either embedded on the system board, or available as a PCI card.

Availability[edit]

iLO is embedded or available on some HP ProLiant and Integrity servers.

Prior to iLO, Compaq created several other lights out management products. The original was the Remote Insight Board (RIB), which was available as an EISA or PCIexpansion card. RIB was replaced with RILOE (Remote Insight Light-Out Edition), which was only available for PCI. The original RILOE was replaced with RILOE II. HP stopped manufacturing RILOE II in 2006. The final firmware version for RILOE is 2.53(A) dated 9 Mar 2004 and for RILOE II is 1.21 dated 5 July 2006.

For some ProLiant 100 series servers there is a 'Lights Out 100' option, which has more limited functionality. The LO100 is a traditional IPMIBMC, and does not share hardware or firmware with iLO.

There is also a version of iLO for HP Moonshot systems referred to as iLO Chassis Management which is often abbreviated as iLO CM. The Chassis Management version of iLO was derived from iLO 4.[2] As of June 2018 the most recent Chassis Manager Firmware available is version 1.56 which was released as part of the Moonshot Component Pack 2018.02.0.[3]

Versions[edit]

There have been multiple generations of iLO, each generation noted by a single digit number ('iLO 2'). Some generations of iLO are segmented into different editions, based on what features are licensed.[4] iLO includes updatable firmware, for which HP periodically releases new versions.

  • Ruby: ILOrb
  • Powershell: HPE Scripting Tools for Windows Powershell
