Hi, we have a bunch of Hp servers in our server room. The ilo card (standard or upgraded) doesnt=20 support ssh. It's a web based device. In fact,=20 you don't need the advanced feature unless you=20 want graphical view of your server or if you=20 want to mounth isos in the virtual cdrom. There is a software (windows only I think) which=20 is called Insight manager. Here is the link http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/index.html It's free as long as you run it from an hp/compaq=20 system. It's basically a striped down version of=20 openview. All of the managed devices (can be hp,=20 dell, ibm, whatever) communicate with the server=20 with snmp traps. When the software manage a=20 hp/compaq server you naturally have a lot more functionnality :) The problem with freebsd, it that hp doesnt=20 provide agents (not sure if you can install those=20 from linux, didn't try). So basically, your=20 management station cannot receive traps regarding=20 hp agents, but will receive traps from the ilo=20 card if you configure snmp on it. Hope it helps a bit... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Windows:"Where do you want to go today?" Linux: "Where do you want to go tomorrow?"
