This is sort of a follow-up to my previous post, asking about migrating ZFS pools to a new machine. Migration went smoothly and the new machine is quite the nice upgrade, if I may say so myself I went from:
A hacked together custom build
AMD FX-8320E 8c/8t @3.20 GHz 16GB ram
To a used HP ProLient dl380e gen8
2x Xeon E5-2450 16c/32t @2.10 GHz
64GB ram
Not mentioning storage, as I haven’t changed that, still using a
5x 2TB RAIDz1 HDD pool
Huge thanks to anyone who replied to my old post :)
The ProLient has been quite the fun experience, got it for real cheap and it’s been pretty great. Took me a while to figure out how to get the thing booting, iLO4 is not as horrible as I expected and it is kinda loud, but pretty great other than that.
In that case it seems you are stuck with logging into the ilo web-ui and the java applet or the html player. I am not aware of a linux player.
Your best bet would be to browse the support repository of the hpe page. Maybe you can find a sort of OSS-version someone created.
Edit: Maybe try to run it with proton/wine? That should be fine if you just want to use it to remote into the server
It’s not really a huge deal for me, as I generally prefer using SSH and the sort for remote access either way. And besides, the HTML console is clunky, but it gets the job done.
Though, I gotta say, my particular version of iLO4 (2.77) seems to have some bug with the HTML console where it sometimes stops receiving inputs after POST, which is rather annoying…

Havent encountered that issue thus far. Did you try a reset of the iLO?
yep, did not fix it
