But for the SSH bit of iLO, I just logged into one of our servers. It has an SSH interface. The iLO command line is a bit odd, but usable.

So remotely power cycling or marking a server from a Unix box is doable. IIRC you can even load your own key file via the web interface and henceforth log in automagically without interactively entering a password.

Hi,

we have a bunch of Hp servers in our server room.

The ilo card (standard or upgraded) doesnt support ssh. It's a web based device. In fact, you don't need the advanced feature unless you want graphical view of your server or if you want to mounth isos in the virtual cdrom.

There is a software (windows only I think) which is called Insight manager. Here is the link
http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/index.html

It's free as long as you run it from an hp/compaq system. It's basically a striped down version of openview. All of the managed devices (can be hp, dell, ibm, whatever) communicate with the server with snmp traps. When the software manage a hp/compaq server you naturally have a lot more functionnality :)

The problem with freebsd, it that hp doesnt provide agents (not sure if you can install those from linux, didn't try). So basically, your management station cannot receive traps regarding hp agents, but will receive traps from the ilo card if you configure snmp on it.

Hope it helps a bit...
