Using iLO 2 85
•
High Performance Mouse settings can help alleviate remote console mouse synchronization issues,
but this feature is not supported on all operating systems. The effects of changing the settings take
place when remote console is started or restarted. The following options are available:
o
Disabled—Enables the mouse to use the relative coordinates mode which is compatible with most
host operating systems.
o
Enabled—Enables the mouse to use the absolute coordinates mode, eliminating synchronization
issues on supported operating systems.
o
Automatic—Enables iLO 2 to select the appropriate mouse mode when the iLO 2 driver is loaded
on the host operating system. The selected mode is persistent unless a different mode is indicated
when the operating system driver is loaded or if you choose another setting.
•
Remote Console Acquire enables one user to take the remote console session away from another
user. This setting enables or disables the acquire functionality.
•
Shared Remote Console enables multiple users to view and control the server console at the same
time. This setting enables or disables the shared functionality.
•
Interactive Console Replay allows you to replay the captured console video of boot and fault
sequences along with user-initiated manual console captures.
•
The Key-Up/Key-Down setting allows you toggle between using the HID report keyboard model and
the ASCII and ESC codes keyboard model in the IRC. The HID report keyboard model is enabled by
default but might cause repeating characters on high latency networks. If you experience repeating
characters when using IRC, set Key-Up/Key-Down to
Disabled.
•
Boot/Fault Console Capture enables you to capture console video to internal buffers of any boot and
fault sequences. Internal buffer space is limited to the capture of the most recent boot or fault
sequence. Buffer space is limited. The more dynamic and the higher the graphical resolution of the
server console, the less amount of data that can be stored in the buffer. Select which type of video to
capture using the following options:
o
Console Capture buffer allows you to select which type of console sequence to capture. You can
enable either buffer or enable both buffers at the same time. The buffers share the same internal
data area, so enabling both reduces the amount of console video that can be captured. You can
change the enabled buffers at any time to maximize buffer utilization. When the buffer
configuration is changed, both buffers are reset and information currently in the buffers at that
time is lost.
o
Auto Export/Fault Buffer allows you to enable or disable automatically exporting captured
console data.
•
Export Boot/Fault Buffer enables you to specify the URL location of a web server that accepts a PUT
or POST Method data transfer. For example:
http://192.168.1.1/images/capture%h%t.ilo
transfers the internal-capture buffers to a
web server at the IP address 192.168.1.1, and stores the data in the
images
folder using the
filename
captureServerNameDateTime-Boot(or Fault).ilo
, where:
—
%h specifies the addition of the server name to the filename
—
%t specifies that a time stamp will be included in the filename
—
Boot or Fault is automatically added to denote the buffer type as either a boot-sequence or
fault-sequence event

server to accept exported capture buffers, see the section, "Configuring Apache to accept
exported capture buffers (on page
