HP iLO3: `power on` doesn't work
I have remote access to an iLO 3 instance managing a powered-down ProLiant DL585 G7 server. Logging in to iLO via SSH correctly shows
```
</>hpiLO-> power
status=0
status_tag=COMMAND COMPLETED
Thu Oct 26 12:27:12 2017
power: server power is currently: Off
```
The power-on command takes a second to complete,
```
</>hpiLO-> power on
status=0
status_tag=COMMAND COMPLETED
Thu Oct 26 12:27:58 2017
Server powering on .......
```
However, the server is still _off_ after this.
What could be the reason for this behavior? Any idea how to work around it?

Re: HP iLO3: `power on` doesn't work
Anything in the server IML, or the iLO logs? Could be a fault with the system preventing it from powering on. Can it be powered on by physically puressing the power button?

Re: HP iLO3: `power on` doesn't work
The IMLs are empty, the event log says
```
Power-On signal sent to host server by: admin.
```
Physically pressing the button has always worked in the past, but I haven't checked it now for lack of access to the server room. (This won't change for another month which is why I'm trying to power the thing on remotely.)

Re: HP iLO3: `power on` doesn't work
While that should work, you can try using the smash command from the iLO shell
cd /system1
start
