Best Practices to manage multiple ProLiant servers?

clukowski — Mon, 24 Apr 2023 06:03:11 GMT

We're just starting to look into the options for central management of our multiple ProLiant servers, having previously configured and managed iLO one at a time. We got an instance of iLO Amplifier running and have connected all the servers to it, as well as connected the iLO Amp to HPE InfoSight. Still there seems to be a sea of options when configuring multiple iLO card, such as setting up an iLO Federation, service accounts, individual AlertMail, etc. Is there a guide on the modern way to configure all this? It would also be nice to have a settings template that I can push out to new iLO instances/servers.

Hi,

check out OneView here: HPE OneView IT Infrastructure Management Software - IT Automation | HPE

Without a License, (Free Software) you can Monitor all Servers and now even Update with SPP, just a VM as iLO Amplifier.

With a Server License, you are also able to configure UEFI/Raid Settings.

All iLO-5 servers are also able to connect directly to "HPE GreenLake for Compute Ops Management", after installing the latest iLO Firmware. HPE GreenLake Compute Ops Management | HPE

With COM you are able to Monitor, Manage, and Update (and a lot more is in the pipe) all your Servers from HPE Cloud-based everywhere.

This is the "New Way of Server Operating", there is a 90 Day Free Trial.

It needs also a server License but is not expensive.
