If you use the web (or older java) console to share the ISO as a virtual drive then it tends to be dog slow. If you SSH into the iLO then you can point the virtual CD drive at a HTTP web server hosting the image which seems to be significantly quicker to read. It uses HTTP range requests for random IO too, so doesn't need to pre-read the entire ISO.
