This is sort of a follow-up to my previous post, asking about migrating ZFS pools to a new machine. Migration went smoothly and the new machine is quite the nice upgrade, if I may say so myself I went from:
A hacked together custom build
AMD FX-8320E 8c/8t @3.20 GHz 16GB ram
To a used HP ProLient dl380e gen8
2x Xeon E5-2450 16c/32t @2.10 GHz 64GB ram
Not mentioning storage, as I haven’t changed that, still using a
5x 2TB RAIDz1 HDD pool
Huge thanks to anyone who replied to my old post :)
The ProLient has been quite the fun experience, got it for real cheap and it’s been pretty great. Took me a while to figure out how to get the thing booting, iLO4 is not as horrible as I expected and it is kinda loud, but pretty great other than that.
Little application to avoid the login to the web-ui.

Upside: You won’t get thrown out of your remote session while having an ISO mounted.
Upside 2: You avoid having to use Edge, to enable IE legacy mode to being able to use the .NET console.
Bit of a problem here, I don’t use windows. All my machines are either Linux or Mac… And I cannot find neither a Linux nor a Mac version of the application…
In that case it seems you are stuck with logging into the ilo web-ui and the java applet or the html player. I am not aware of a linux player.
Your best bet would be to browse the support repository of the hpe page. Maybe you can find a sort of OSS-version someone created.
Edit: Maybe try to run it with proton/wine? That should be fine if you just want to use it to remote into the server
