For using HP blades and standard iLO (no licensed advance features),
it works perfectly well, installing both FreeBSD 5 and 6 on the
blades I've tried, using a remote install CD from the Java applet
(there's one for remote devices like disks, and one for remote
console); there's only text mode but that's plenty to install the OS
and enable it to the point of using SSH to manage it from there on
in. I'd hope the iLO hardware/software is relatively common to all
the HP range :)
text mode access continues at all times - the iLO interface is just
a remote screen/keyboard onto it, even POST BIOS boot. The external
devices are USB mass storage ones, but I didn't have problems
booting off the CD and installing it for 6.2.
Well.. The blades seems to be an exception:
• iLO 2 Standard Blade Edition (unlicensed blade server):
o Remote Console and IRC
This is not listed under "iLO 2 Standard (unlicensed:)"... I guess
that means I'm out of luck unless I want to bang up another $400
(listing price).. Which I'd rather not :)
Anyone running those 360G5's using serial console on a normal licensed
iLO?
The iLO web interface nominally requires/is tested only on Windows/
IE setup, but I do my work from a Mac running Safari, and have no
problems to date.

seems to tell me that in basic mode I can only access BIOS (pre-
OS) using the Remote Console feature, and that after POST I have
to have the advanced licensed option?
I don't do the purchasing and we get all Advanced iLO, so I will
take your word for it. The older generations supported text
console (i have a 360G2 that does so). We use the HP Management
agents under Windows for all SNMP reporting so I can't comment on
the reporting method under other OS's.
I see. Can anyone else maybe shed some light here?
