In an HP Proliant DL380 G3 I had an older iLO.
This version is also called Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition II Board (RILOE II)
User guide for HP Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition II Board
The ROM-based setup utility F8 (RBSU F8) allows you to configure RILOE II during server boot-up. RBSU F8 is useful for configuring servers that do not use DNS/DHCP. RBSU F8 is available every time the server is booted. RBSU F8 cannot run remotely.
I was receiving this error when trying to open an iLO 3 connection through Onboard Administrator.
To solve this problem, type about:config in the address bar.
Then toggle to false the preference security.use_mozillapkix_verification
Previously HP had a kit to enable the native open-source multipathing solution called Device Mapper Multipath Enablement Kit for HP StorageWorks Disk Arrays
Nowadays HP recommends to read a document called Native Linux Device-Mapper Multipath for HP StorageWorks Disk Arrays reference guide to enable the native open-source multipathing solution.
Just ssh to the IP that you configured the iLO
emerson@shellcore:~ $ ssh emerson@192.168.50.118

The shareholders of my employer, EDS, voted for the merger with HP. It’s getting closer to the merger since no US agency has anything against it.
