How do I deploy the iLO Amplifier Pack?

In the previous article, I covered how to register your services with HPE InfoSight. This requires that you have already deployed the Amplifier Pack. So below I will tell you in detail how this can be done and what options exist.





iLO Amplifier Pack can be deployed in virtual environments MS Hyper-V, VMware ESXi, Linux KVM on any server in the local infrastructure.





To download the iLO Amplifier Pack, you need to follow the link  and download the file for the corresponding hypervisor (at the moment, from personal experience, I recommend downloading version 1.71, since version 1.81 has a glitch - the entered settings are not applied. After configuring version 1.71, upgrade to 1.81 ). Required virtual resources for deployment:





  • vCore- 4 Cores





  • RAM - 8Gb





  • vDisk - 100Gb





  • Net- 1 or 2 100 / 1000Gb / s





1. Deployment of iLO Amplifier Pack in VMware ESXi environment:  in VSphere Client in the required resource pool, right-click and select Deploy OVF Template





Next, in the window that opens, select Local file and click on the "Select files" button:
