HPE Gen8 servers, iLO NAND flash error – Is iLO needed at all? (alien.top)

I’m looking at new servers, and I see many of these Gen8 HPE servers have this error for sale. I’ve read somewhere it’s a common problem, many of them are affected.

My question is: For a home server, do I need iLO at all?

I don’t care if I can’t remotely restart the server, or remotely check its health. Apart from remote management, is iLO needed at all?

What will I miss if the server has this error? Is it going to be problematic to have this server in any way, or is it fine?

If you search you should see the error only effects a few features and not all of iLO.

And iLO is needed the same way a homelab is needed. sure is nice to have though
