Deploying a technology might not be difficult, but making it work in your business, maintaining delivery and user expectation - that's where it can get complicated.

Check ILO version remotely

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Another tweet, can you check the ILO version remotely on a server?

Of the top of my head, the easy ways I would do it are:

Systems Insight Manager with the remote deployment bits installed should give you driver/firmware versions on servers. I need to download the new version to try this.
Log on to the HP Web Agent and click to the ilo tab, it will tell you the configuration information such as firmware etc.
Log on to the ilo, it’s displayed on the first screen when you log in.
Run the online ILO firmware utility, it will tell you.
View the XML file from the HP survey/Diagnostic utility, it should be noted there.
Last resort, reboot the server and it should say HP Integrated lights out version 1.94 for example.

There’s more detail here.
