Remote Console
The Remote Console tab provides access to different views of the Remote
Console and enables you to define keystroke sequences that will be transmitted
to the remote host server at the press of a hot key. Standard iLO provides
embedded hardware Remote Console capabilities on a text mode screen. The
operating system-independent console supports text modes that display remote
host server activities, such as shutdown and startup operations.
The Graphical Remote Console is enabled by licensing the optional iLO
Advanced Pack. Graphical Remote Console turns a supported browser into a
virtual desktop, giving the user 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, such as shutdown and
startup operations.
Remote Console Option
The Remote Console option redirects the host server console to the
network client browser, providing full text (standard) and graphical mode video,
keyboard, and mouse access to the remote host server (if licensed with the iLO
Advanced Pack).
With the Remote Console, you have complete control over a remote host server
as if you were in front of it. You can access the remote file system and the
network drives. The 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.
With the Remote Console, 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 Console (if licensed) enables you to view and control the
host server screen throughout the installation process.
