I can ping the ilo port, but when I try to ssh in: ssh: connect to host hostname.hub.org port 22: Operation timed out when I try and access through the web, I get told 'Connection refused' ... If I get a tech to pull the plug out of the wall and replug it in after a few seconds, everything works again for awhile, and then dies off ... but, of course, that doesn't help me when I'm actually *having* a problem ... So, does anyone else have similar experiences? Am I running a 'too old' versoin of iLO and this sort of stuff is fixed in more recent versions that I can upgrade to? Searching HP itself, I'm drawing a blank for firmware upgrades (find agents for LInux though) ... so if it is a possibility of need for upgrade, does anyone have a URL for the latest and greatest?
