- viraptor 8y agoNot sure how effective that is, considering lots of iLOs give you the possibility to mount a boot cd over network, so you skip the whole grub.
- craftyguy 8y agoiLO is a (proprietary) HP out-of-band thing, it's not IPMI (an open specification out-of-band thing.)
- xyzzy123 8y agoYep, point stands though, you can mount a boot cd with e.g. supermicro’s ipmi as well. It’s still terrible advice (password protect your boot loader!) because you have lost pretty badly already at that point.
