If > it's a hardware problem you'll have to show up anyways, right? iLO allows me to power cycle my server, re-install the operating system, access the BIOS, access the console, etc ... all operating system independent (or with no operating system installed at all) ... the only 'hands on' I need is, as you put it, to replace hardware that might go wrong, but, for instance, with 'just a serial console', like the non-HP servers, I have to get a remote tech to power cycle whenever the deadlocks I'm experiencing right now happen ... with iLO, I login to the iLO CLI, and tell the server to reboot itself ... ---- Marc G.
