Do you offer Xen hosting Chad?.. and back on topic... What's the point
of iLO Marc? What's wrong with having your server text message your
cell phone and then you ssh in and check what's wrong / fix it? If
it's a hardware problem you'll have to show up anyways, right?

iLO allows me to power cycle my server, re-install the operating system, access the BIOS, access the console, etc ... all operating system independent (or with no operating system installed at all) ... the only 'hands on' I need is, as you put it, to replace hardware that might go wrong, but, for instance, with 'just a serial console', like the non-HP servers, I have to get a remote tech to power cycle whenever the deadlocks I'm experiencing right now happen ... with iLO, I login to the iLO CLI, and tell the server to reboot itself ...
