I don't want to reboot the server everytime something like that happens. I'll expect pretty nasty problems will develop after a few dozen unclean shutdowns like that. Would ILO work on a server that's unresponsive due to heavy load? The actual network access isn't a problem so dial up isn't necessary. The other problem is the server in question probably doesn't have ILO features on the mainboard.
