Hi, any recommendations on how to access the iPMI/ KVM HP iLO3? Unfortunately my system is a little too modern to handle it.
I tried installing Firefox 35 portable and that seemed to show the IPMI. But the Java applet does not seem to work. Another option is to have jnlp downloaded, but openwebstart also fails.
Any thoughts?
These old toasters are increasingly a pain in the butt, even old browsers/old Java runtimes are a nightmare.
What worked for me recently: if you find an old Android pad/smartphone (like Android 3/4), install an old version of the HP 'iLO Console' app (e.g. 1.05.6). YMMV
You need to install an old java to use the ILO or IDRAC Java 7 or something then it will work. But i agree these boxes should be decomised a long time ago
Usually I would use smartctl to find the disk health. But, now since its setup on HW Raid1, what is the best way to identify the disk health? PowerOnHours, any bad sectors etc etc. Below commands show how the setup is. Thanks in advance.

So for some reason, it says SMART is not available?

Finally got me the OS installed via IPMI.

@localhost
remove the partition from the device
smartctl -a /dev/sdaalso need MegaCli for the hardware raid devices
MegaCli -PDList -aALL
MegaCli -PDList -aALL | grep "Device Id"
smartctl -a -d sat+megaraid,#DeviceID /dev/sda
Kool. Will check that out in sometime. Thnx
Seems MegaCli is an older implementation.. StorCLI is new. But I am unable to find good instructions to get set with StorCLI.
I installed MegaCli and it has some additional dependencies which are not readily available in AL9... Sigh
maybe i you boot back into the raid configuration via your IPMI you may be able to get the Device ID's from that to pass through to smartctl?
oh, interesting... any tips on what to check?
nope sorry
edit: worst case, boot into a older ubuntu or something via livecd/netboot and run megacli via that to get device id?
double posting, System Rescue CD has MegaCli package with it
https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=systemrescue&pkglist=true&version=2.0.1
old version anyway
https://onyx.koli.ch/file/mark/triage/rescuecd/ here is the older version 2.0.1 with MegaCli included

The Yeti has left the building.
HP systems use iLO. But will try this too if possible. Thnx for sharing
Looks like there is a similar container for ILO - https://github.com/sshnaidm/docker-ilo-client
