Here are some ways to identify ILO ip of different server:
1. If you assume there are stand alone servers (i.e. not
part of a blade chassis). You can have a look at this script which uses
NMAP to find all of the iLO adapters on a specified network.

Here's a similar example using powershell and WMI: http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Capture-HP-ILO-information-f38305fa
2. You can view and configure your iLO by using the "HP
Lights-Out Configuration Utility (American, International)" package
available to download from HP:

3. If you do not have too many nodes you can download
Angry IP Scanner, it will list all live nodes, you might have to hunt to
find your ILO. Just remote to workstation or server on the network and
download this little app, its pretty self explanatory.

4. The ILo is important port in the server. Firstly when you connect this
port to your network it will take IP address from DHCP so you will
remove it and assign static IP address and then you get username &
Password from the label at the front panel of the server and then you
can access the ILO through IP and you can use of the benefits . One of
the important benefits you can use when the server is down you can power
it on and bring it up .
