I don't know what any of that means but I 100% agree
iLO (HP branding) is a remote access service to a server that allows one to control said server. A completely separate circuit - a really neat thing. One of such controls is a remote console - you can connect to a server miles away as if you had a keyboard and screen attached to it locally. What HP has done was build the functionality, but disable it once the server has booted.
I understood most of those words.
Honestly HP is pure shite on every level and my one hope is that somehow their leadership gets yeeted into the sun
Now if you'll excuse me I have some crayons to eat
All the vendors do this. Dell (iDRAC), HP (iLO), Sun (ILOM), etc.
Super micro seems to be fairly good, only requiring a fee for major upgrades.
Might be some shitty in there somewhere, but I've had good experiences so far.
