The reason I originally went with HP was *because* of iLO ... the ability to 
connect to the console to do work on the server *without* havign to get ahold 
of a tech was a huge selling point ...

... but, is it just me, or is iLO the most unreliable piece of software?

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?

Thank you ...
