Having the iLO plugged in allows SIM to discover the server when it is powered off or the OS has crashed.<BR /><BR />James.

I have a bad memory stick, it seems that with ILO lan plugged in I get a nicer gui error page to look at, and without the ILO lan connection I see the same error condition in the error log of SIM for that server. Just wondering whether I should insist on having ILO plugged in ... what does it buy me??<BR /><BR />Thanks Fri, 11 Feb 2005 15:46:54 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-remote-server/ilo-and-sim/m-p/3484102#M1004 tom_381 2005-02-11T15:46:54Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-remote-server/ilo-and-sim/m-p/3484103#M1005 Tom-<BR />Having the iLO LAN plugged in allows you to remotely manage your server in cases where the server OS may be unavailable. <BR />For SIM, having the iLO plugged in does not buy you much.
