The DL380G4 box only has iLO standard and I presume that there is no health driver running. Now that I have the virtual console working I am faced with the problem that the iLO seems to time out the connection after about 30 min so there is still a difficulty in logging the reboot event which seems to be happening once every ~ 1-5 days. Is there any chance that we'll be seeing the utility software (hpasmd, hpacucli, hpadu) compiled for freebsd 7 any time soon? > There is a different thermal shutdown feature of all ProLiants -- when the > server/cpu reaches a "temp deadly" setting, the box will immediately shut > down.
