Using iLO 2 84

iLO 2 Remote Console

iLO 2 Remote Console redirects the host server console to the network client browser, providing full text

(standard), graphical mode video, keyboard, and mouse access to the remote host server (if licensed).

iLO 2 uses virtual KVM technology to improve remote console performance comparable with other KVM

solutions.

With remote console access, you can observe POST boot messages as the remote host server restarts and

initiate ROM-based setup routines to configure the hardware of the remote host server. When installing

operating systems remotely, the graphical remote consoles (if licensed) enable you to view and control the

host server screen throughout the installation process.

Remote console access provides you complete control over a remote host server as if you were in front of

the system, including access to the remote file system and network drives. Remote Console enables you to

change hardware and software settings of the remote host server, install applications and drivers, change

remote server screen resolution, and gracefully shut down the remote system.

Up to 10 users are allowed to simultaneously log in to iLO 2. However, only four users can access a

shared Integrated Remote Console. If you attempt to open the Remote Console while it is already in use, a

warning message appears, indicating that it is in use by another user. To view the remote console session

already in progress, see the section, "Shared Remote Console (on page 94)" for more information. To

take control of the session, use the Remote Console Acquire feature. See the section, "Acquiring the

Remote console (on page 97)" for more information.

The Remote Console Information page provides access links to the different remote console access

options. After deciding which console option you want to use, click the appropriate link. iLO 2 provides

the following remote console access options:

• Integrated Remote Console ("Integrated Remote Console option" on page 89)—Provides access to

the system KVM, allowing control of Virtual Power and Virtual Media from a single console using

Microsoft® Internet Explorer.

• Integrated Remote Console Fullscreen (on page 89)—Resizes the Integrated Remote Console to the

same display resolution as the remote host.

The Integrated Remote Console and Integrated Remote Console Fullscreen uses ActiveX and requires

Microsoft® Internet Explorer™.

• Remote Console (on page 97)—Provides access to the system KVM through a Java applet-based

console. Remote Console is the familiar Remote Console support carried forward from the original

iLO product. Remote Console support requires that Java™ be installed on the client system. Remote

Console operates with all operating systems and browsers supported by iLO 2.

• Remote Serial Console (on page 104)—Provides access to a VT320 serial console through a Java

applet-based console connected to the iLO 2 Virtual Serial Port. The Remote Serial Console is

available without an additional license and is suitable for host operating systems that do not require

access to the graphical console.

Standard iLO 2 provides server console access from server power-on through POST. Integrated Remote

Console, Integrated Remote Console Fullscreen, and Remote Console are graphical remote consoles that

turn a supported browser into a virtual desktop, allowing you full control over the display, keyboard, and

mouse of the host server. The operating-system-independent console supports graphic modes that display

remote host server activities, including shutdown and startup operations (if licensed).
