Isn't the iLO access on the HP Microservers restricted once an OS is installed on the device? [0]
I have the earlier version Microserver, it doesn't have any iLO at all, so I dunno what functionality the gen8 provides. At home, iLO wouldn't be of much use to me.
iLO would only be useful to me when I'm at work or out of the area and not at home. Realistically at work I do 98% of configuration via SSH (that's server and router/switch configuration), so who am I kidding I want IPMI on a microserver (for home). :-D
Dual GigE is nice, but I'd really prefer an Intel NIC! ;-) [ Almost all of the gently used Dell server gear my employer has is Broadcom based. Hence the wink smiley. ]
I have various REAL Proliant DL servers and I always buy the iLO licenses for them, as having a full remote console for a remotely deployed server saves me a LOT of late night trips when things go sideways.
Right on. I'm somewhat spoiled with all the remote management/configuration that be done via IPMI/SoL. ( Which is why I'm asking about the iLO feature set the gen8's ship with. )
Thanks for the info John.
