I was used to configure HP iLO from Windows OS using hponcnfg, but how it can be done when operating system is ESXi 4.1 without phisically connect to the iLO port (aka remotely)?
Thank you all for help

You're not going to be able to do this via ESXi - it doesn't support third party applications that can do this type of thing. At a minimum you will have to enable iLO and give it an ip-address by physically doing so at the machine initially.
ESXi is IPMI aware and does support remote management via WBEM which can talk to the embedded hardware management components (BMC\iLO etc) so it may be possible to do this via something like HP SIM but I've never seen an example.
