I suppose HP iLO works like iDRAC from Dell: you can get by using only the OOB features which are completely independent from the OS and "belong" to motherboard layer or you can go a step further and deploy the OOB-agents on the OS directly to expand the feature-set further and allow stuff like capturing super detailed OS/Drivers/Apps infos, trigger a multitude of commands, and so on.
For a pure hardware monitoring the direct OOB data is pretty adequate, so I suppose @Didi7 is probably referring the OOB-agents' features that capture the detailed storage I/O speeds and so on.
