HI,
You can try the below for ILO5 and Test:>> For optimal performance, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends using image files stored on the hard drive of your client PC, or on a network drive that is accessible through a high-speed network link.
Customer can also check enabling the " Enhanced Download Performance " which is available on ILO FW 2.70 onwards and test performance.
When this option is Enabled, iLO will optimize its communication with the web server hosting the images.
After changing the option, the setting will take effect only on new virtual media connections and firmware update operations initiated.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends enabling the Enhanced Download Performance option in the following scenarios:
iLO is connected to a low speed network.
iLO accesses images hosted on remote file shares.
iLO accesses images hosted on a heavily loaded web-server

To enable the Enhanced Download Performance from the Access settings page, click on the Network settings and select Enhanced Download Performance.
