HP iLO4 on Ubuntu Noble 24.04 for use with HP ProLiant 8th Gen Servers

If you're a homelabber and are interested in attempting to use the iLO4's agentless management functionality (how is it agentless if you have to install software on the OS?), you can do so by installing the HP AMS Package

Install the Agentless Management Service

sudo su -
wget https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/mcp/pool/non-free/hp-ams_2.8.3-3056.1ubuntu16_amd64.deb
dpkg -i hp-ams_2.8.3-3056.1ubuntu16_amd64.deb
exit

Now you can view software and hardware on the server in the iLO Web UI.

Install the HP iLO Configuration Management Tool

Then you will probably want the iLO Configuration Service, this works with the latest release of hponcfg, so we can add it via the official HPE repo:
