2. Click the Acquire button.

The other user is prompted to approve or deny permission to acquire the Remote Console, as

shown in Figure 101 (page 200).

Figure 101 Granting or denying permission to acquire the Remote Console

If there is no response in 10 seconds, permission is granted.

Using the Remote Console power switch

To use the power switch, select one of the following options from the power switch menu:

• Momentary Press—The same as pressing the physical power button. If a server is powered

off, a momentary press will turn the server power on.

Some operating systems might be configured to initiate a graceful shutdown after a momentary

press, or to ignore this event. HP recommends using system commands to complete a graceful

operating system shutdown before you attempt to shut down by using the Virtual Power button.

• Press and Hold—The same as pressing the physical power button for 5 seconds and then

releasing it.

The server is powered off as a result of this operation. Using this option might circumvent the

graceful shutdown features of the operating system.

This option provides the ACPI functionality that some operating systems implement. These

operating systems behave differently depending on a short press or long press.

• Cold Boot—Immediately removes power from the server. Processors, memory, and I/O resources

lose main power. The server will restart after approximately 6 seconds. Using this option

circumvents the graceful shutdown features of the operating system.

• Reset—Forces the server to warm-boot: CPUs and I/O resources are reset. Using this option

circumvents the graceful shutdown features of the operating system.

NOTE: The Press and Hold, Reset, and Cold Boot options are not available when the server is

powered down.

Using iLO Virtual Media from the Remote Console

For instructions on using the Virtual Media feature from the Remote Console, see “Using iLO Virtual

Media from the Remote Console” (page 222).

Using Shared Remote Console (.NET IRC only)

Shared Remote Console allows the connection of multiple sessions on the same server. This feature

can be used for activities such as training and troubleshooting.

This feature and many others are part of an iLO licensing package. For more information about

iLO licensing, see the following website: http://www.hp.com/go/ilo/licensing.

The first user to initiate a Remote Console session connects to the server normally and is designated

as the session leader. Any subsequent user who requests Remote Console access initiates an access

request for a satellite client connection. A dialog box for each access request opens on the session

leader's desktop, identifying the requester's user name and DNS name (if available) or IP address.
