A reminder about Compaq/HP lights out functionality. Originally we had the RIB card which was then superseded by the RILOE card, both were external PCI cards which gave separate lights out independent of the operating system and the slot where the card was fitted dependent on the server itself. The next generation of Compaq/HP servers came with ILO (Integrated Lights Out) and now ILO2 which provided on board remote lights out administration. Below is a mixture of posts, web links and documents to help with your ILO/RIB/RILOE challenges.
