What operating system runs on iLO processors? Can the sources be
downloaded? (It does awful lot of stuff, like ssh server and web
server...)

And yes, iLO has some functions that overlap with led subsystem and
sensors subsystem. It can also power machine up & down (ACPI
overlap). Plus it has its own TCP/IP stack that can be configured, and
its own user management.

Is iLO the only way how to access certain functions? For example: can
the fan status be determined without talking to iLO?
