Note that you only want to do a soft reset of the ilo and not the 4-second reset.

Is this a Proliant server?

From the Network Settings page you can click "Apply". This will reset the iLO processor and terminate any active console sessions (you do not have to change any settings before clicking apply.)

Page 184-185

To make this simpler in the future, choose Yes for "Enable Remote Console Acquire" on the Global Settings page.

Good luck!

-can i upgrade to ilo2

it's hardware, and "integrated" so : NO
but what model system you have?
ilo2 is out a long time, so maybe you allready have ilo2 (i'd guess G2 or up).

firmware 1.78 is out so you may only need to upgrade this.

Q2. What is the latest iLO firmware version?
A2. iLO firmware version 1.90 is now available providing advanced control, security, diagnostic and iLO Select upgrade capabilities for ProLiant servers.
