You said the HP ilo interface isn't even online but are you really sure
about it? If it's an ilo with dedicated ethernet port then it's usually
online as soon as the server is connected to power, even if the box is
switched off. And if you're looking for a system with ugly behavior,
things like ilo are good candidates because these embedded systems are not
always tested as good as normal operating systems.
