## Results

the HPE ProLiant Bare Metal plugin automatically discovers and records all hardware details from the server using its Integrated Lights Out (iLO) management interface. This discovery process may take a few minutes, depending on the server and network conditions. After completion, the server becomes available (STATUS = `available`) in Morpheus for further provisioning and lifecycle operations.
