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?
