I recently just bought a server a hp ml350 g5. And i uses a lot of power. So i was wondering is there anyway to schedule it turn it off and on via the ilo2. Thanks in advance

Do you really want it to fail earlier by stressing it at bootup and shutdown? It's a business decision. – Deer Hunter Jan 17 '16 at 18:52

Weird question. I'm assuming this is for a home setup... The ILO itself doesn't have a scheduler for this built-in. Most people who run servers tend to want them to stay on.
(the HP ProLiant ML350 G5 dates back to 2005-2008. It's very much end-of-life...)
You can:
- Turn the server off via its operating system.
- You have options to wake-on-lan with this equipment, but again, it seems silly since you could just remote into the system and power it on.
- You can issue commands to the ILO to power-on and power-off, but if you go through that effort, you may as well just cleanly shut the server off via its OS.
What is the core issue you're trying to resolve?
