Console capture (.NET IRC)
Console capture allows you to record and play back video streams of events such as startup, ASR events, and sensed
operating system faults. iLO automatically captures the server startup and server prefailure sequences. You can manually
start and stop the recording of console video.
• The server startup and server prefailure sequences are not captured automatically during firmware updates or while
the remote console is in use.
• Server startup and server prefailure sequences are saved automatically in iLO memory. They will be lost during
firmware updates, iLO reset, and power loss. You can save the captured video to your local drive by using the .NET
IRC.
• The server startup file starts capturing information when server startup is detected. It stops when the file runs out of
space. This file is overwritten each time the server starts.
• The server prefailure file starts capturing information when the server startup file is full. It stops when iLO detects an
ASR event. The server prefailure file is locked when iLO detects an ASR event. The file is unlocked and can be
overwritten after it is downloaded through the .NET IRC.
• The console capture control buttons are at the bottom of the .NET IRC session window.
The following controls are available:
◦
Skip to Start—Restarts playback from the beginning of the file.
◦
Pause—Pauses the playback.
