I'm not the op, but sending a reply anyways.

The notifications come from the HP tools you can download
for free from their website.

The recovery cd is probably a selfmade installer for their
setup. At least that's what we have.

the ILO stuff is to give you access to the box like you were
sitting right in front of it with a physical keyboard and
monitor, but over IP.
You can boot the machine, access the cd in your local
machine etc, even if the box is on the other side of the
moon.

We use Debian. HP even supports it on their DL380 boxen.

We use the P400 raid controller. Setup RAID5 with 3 disks.
CPU we use right now is the Intel E5405

Hope this helps a bit.
