Looking at the rilo script, I'm not sure whether the power-off action will do
what you expect. The ilo scripting guide says that the  '<SET_HOST_POWER
HOST_POWER  = "N"/> action sends an acpi power off request to do a graceful
shutdown, rather than zapping the server dead.

I think the SET_HOST_POWER action needs to be changed to be '<HOLD_PWR_BTN>/'
or <COLD_BOOT_SERVER/>

eg

<RIBCL VERSION="2.0">
<LOGIN USER_LOGIN="adminname" PASSWORD="password">
<SERVER_INFO MODE="write">
<HOLD_PWR_BTN/>
</SERVER_INFO>
</LOGIN>
</RIBCL>
