8. iLO Integrated Remote Console
The iLO Integrated Remote Console is a graphical remote console that can be used to control
the display, keyboard, and mouse of the host server. The Integrated Remote Console provides
access to the remote file system and network drives.
With Integrated Remote Console access, you can observe POST messages as the server starts,
and initiate ROM-based setup activities to configure the server hardware. When you install
operating systems remotely, the Integrated Remote Console (if licensed) enables you to view
and control the host server monitor throughout the installation process.
Integrated Remote Console access options
•
.NET IRC—Provides access to the system KVM, allowing control of Virtual Power and Virtual
Media from a single console through a supported browser on a Windows client. In addition
to the standard features, the .NET IRC supports Console Capture, Shared Console, Virtual
Folder, and Scripted Media.
•
Java Web Start and Java Applet—Provide access to the system KVM, allowing control of
Virtual Power and Virtual Media. In addition to the standard features, the Java IRC includes
the iLO disk image tool and Scripted Media.
Integrated Remote Console usage information and tips
•
Users with the Remote Console privilege can use the .NET IRC and the Java IRC.
•
A license must be installed to use the Integrated Remote Console after the OS is started.
To determine whether a license is installed, click Administration in the navigation tree, and
then click the Licensing tab.
•
When you use Windows or Linux with the Oracle Java Runtime Environment, the Java IRC is
a Java Web Start application that is launched from the iLO web interface. The application
runs in a separate window outside of the web browser. At launch, a blank secondary window
opens. Do not close this window after the Java IRC loads.
•
When you use Linux with the OpenJDK Java Runtime Environment, the Java IRC is a Java
applet that is launched from the iLO web interface. The applet runs in a separate window.
•
Java IRC with OpenJDK only: When you refresh or close the iLO web interface window, the
Remote Console connection is closed. When the Remote Console connection is closed, you
lose access to Virtual Media devices that were connected through the Java IRC, except for
devices that were connected by using scripted media.
•
Do not run the Integrated Remote Console from the host operating system on the server
that contains the iLO processor.
•
NEC Corporation recommends that users who log in to a server through the Integrated
Remote Console logout before closing the console.
•
Pop-up blockers prevent the .NET IRC or Java IRC applet from running, so you must disable
them before starting an Integrated Remote Console session. In some cases, you can bypass
the pop-up blocker by Ctrl+clicking the remote console launch button. This limitation does
not apply to the Java IRC Web Start application.
•
Some browsers do not support the Java plug-in. The following alternatives are available:
