The HP ProLiant Management Controller Driver is a software component that enables communication between the operating system and the hardware management features of HP ProLiant servers. This driver supports various management functionalities such as monitoring system health, temperature, and power management, as well as remote management features through the Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) controller, which allows administrators to manage and control the server even when the system is powered off or the OS is not running.
The HP ProLiant Management Controller Driver is essential for managing and configuring server hardware, performing diagnostics, and ensuring the server is operating correctly. It often works alongside other tools like HP's Insight Management software and HP System Management Homepage (SMH).
