Unless I missed something, iLO is always on when the machine has
power; as such, WOL shouldn't be coming into play on reasonably modern
HP servers. (That said, the power draw is likely still the reason,
although I can't readily confirm Charles' observation on my only
rackmount Gen8.)

Considering that Dell and HP at least are shipping brand new hardware
with
IPMI/BMC/iLO/whatever management ports that can only speak 100mbit
when
every other Ethernet interface in the box at least gigabit, having a
useful
way to talk to that port without having to keep separate switching
hardware
around would be nice. I'm not holding my breath, but you know, along
with
a pony, this would be nice.
Eh? That may have been the case a few years ago, but HP ILO4 and
iDRAC7 specifically list 10/100/1000 even when using in dedicated
port
mode.
And even in prior versions, you could have the port linking up at
1Gbps,
by operating the management in Shared port mode (Sharing the
management
with the server's Eth0).
I expect over time: support for linking up at 10/100 will get rarer
and
much more expensive.
The niche status a 10/100 media converter as an SFP would have if
produced
is likely to mean it would retail at $2000+ per port device.
It probably just makes more sense to go find an old obsolete top of
rack
switch, like a Cat3750 to get the small fraction of legacy copper
ports
required for out of band network and server management, which: by the
way, should be part of a separate switching infrastructure anyways,
to
increase the chance it stays operational and useful for
troubleshooting, in
the event the production network experiences outage or has other issues
requiring diagnosis.
