I've been running it since last september - never had any problem with it, and am pretty convinced it is stable. > This is where I'm a bit curious. What OS interaction does iLO do? That > needs to be "compatible" i mean. Booting from the CD - I had one FreeBSD/iLO combination which would noit boot from the emulated CD. I needed to use the floppies and do a network install. That was painful - I can't remember the version though. Certainly I have had no such probelsm with 7.0 and the latest iLO. > SOL capabilities.. To what degree can I remote control with iLO? If It acts as a complete console - just as if you were sitting in front of the machine. You can see the screen, use keyboard and mouse, and attack images as CD's or floppies. > iLO over internet? Possible, impossible? Encryption? (yes i know, not > exactly freebsd related questions but.. ) iLO runs over https so is encrypted. It does run better from a Windows client than anything else sadly - but I keep a wWindows box around for this purpose. Have just installed a set of machines somewhere in Louisianna remotely, whilst sitting in bed in London with a cup of tea : using an OSX laptop :-) I love iLO... -pete.
