Pete,
Have you considered enabling serial console emulation in the BIOS on  
the machines.
I have got my iLo cards set up to redirect the serial ports on my HP  
servers so that I can ssh into the ILO cards and by typing Esc-Q  
access what I would otherwise see on a serial console.
Unfortunately I don't have a DL360 to try and reproduce your problem on.

Regards,
Cian.
