The ILO is the management card for the server, you manually set the ILO up before or after installing the operating system. On power up, you can press the F8 option when prompted to log in and set the network configuration, dhcp or ip address, default gateway etc. Or you can run the HP hponcfg utility to configure the card in Linux/Windows.
Server1 has just been set up in our new datacenter, there are two patch cables, one for the normal network connected at 1gb, and one for the ILO, 100/full. Windows 2003 is installed and it has the latest driver pack installed as well.
Network card 1 has an ip address of 10.1.94.11. The ILO has got an ip address 10.104.35.12.
The server is working and I want to connect normally – I terminal service/rdp to 10.1.94.11 or ‘server1′.
The server has crashed, I can’t ping it and I want to connect to it using the ILO - I open a browser to http://10.104.35.12.
This will re-divert to https://10.104.35.12 and establish a secure ILO connection with your browser, from there you can manage the server remotely.

Pressing the login button logs me into the ILO using those details, from there I can control the server, build it, power cycle it, load virtual media etc, you can also reconfigure the ILO network configuration.
