You could try to follow our steps: iLO installation Follow the steps outlined in the HP document named: "Integrated Lights-Out Virtual Serial Port configuration and operation" These are the main phases: -enter iLO configuration during the boot -configure IP address, admin user and other relevant settings Bios Follow the steps outlined in the HP document: "Integrated Lights-Out Virtual Serial Port configuration and operation" These are the steps required: -enter the BIOS configuration -configure BIOS Serial Console FreeBSD Insert these lines in /boot/loader.conf: hint.acpi.0.disabled=1 boot_multicons="YES" boot_serial="YES" comconsole_speed="115200" console="comconsole,vidconsole" Modify /boot/device.hints with the new values for sio0: hint.sio.0.at="isa" hint.sio.0.port="0x408" hint.sio.0.flags="0x10" hint.sio.0.irq="4" note the new values for the I/O port. Edit /etc/make.conf and insert these new lines: BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT="0x408" BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED="115200" Then recompile the boot loader: # cd /sys/boot # make clean # make # make install reboot and enter ilo, then enter vsp. Hope it's useful
