Free BSD and HP's Integrated Lights Out

[Doug Paquette]

thanks for the reply on this.

I wanting the buy the advance package license for the
remote media feature and the graphic display so that
way I can run the smart start cd wipe the drives and
do a fresh installation of free bsd remotely if i want
to.

With out the advanced package license all i can do is
view texted information and power on or off the
server, thats really about it.

Here is the link to the license package.

I am 95 percent sure that I was able to see the free
bsd installation screen when I was playing around with
the 30 day trial. but for $350.00 I want to make darn
sure, because im sure once i buy it im stuck with it,
weather if works or not.

The people I spoke with at HP have no idea how they
can give me a few more days on the 30 day trial
license to test it out.

Is there anyone here who has a DL380 with the
integrated lights out that has not used up their 30
day trial that would be willing to test and verify
this?
