Rob,
     sorry if I offended.  The links posted in response were for an Integrity system firmware kit that included iLO firmware, not just the iLO firmware package.  As such, the context was mixed; clearly the overall firmware kits for the systems would have to be different.  You also posted later "iLO is motherboard CPU-agnostic"; I wasn't clear if that crossed architectures or not but the context there only mentioned AMD vs Intel so guess it doesn't.  

I hadn't quite given up on finding the standalone ilo firmware that lists as supported for Integrity or VMS/HPUX.  Apparently that was pointless.

Thank you for confirming.  We're waiting on formal support being added so everything related to this hardware is on hold.  

HPe certainly makes this more difficult than it should be.

Thanks.
