Hot-Plug Keyboard Recommended Usage | HP Integrated Lights-Out

Using iLO

107

•Hot-unplugging a keyboard—Disconnecting a local keyboard from the server while the server is in a powered on state.

Hot-Plug Keyboard Recommended Usage

For best results, follow these guidelines:

•Only hot-plug a local keyboard after the operating system has booted.

•Do not hot-unplug the local keyboard before the operating system has booted. Hot-plugging or hot-unplugging of the local keyboard before the operating system boots can lead to unpredictable results.

WARNING: Do not change iLO network settings or port assignments, reset iLO, upgrade iLO firmware, or otherwise make iLO unavailable while powering on the server or booting the operating system without a local keyboard connected. Perform these actions before powering on the server or after the operating system has booted. If performing these actions before powering on the server, wait 30 seconds until applying power.

Failure to follow the preceding guidelines can result in loss of local and Remote Console keyboard functionality.

Hot-Plug Keyboard Troubleshooting

If the hot-plug keyboard is unavailable or locks up, review the following to correct the problem. For best results, follow the guidelines in "Hot-Plug Keyboard Recommended Usage (on page 107)."

•If a Remote Console session is active on the server, the local keyboard will not be functional after hot-plugging it. This configuration is by design, for security purposes.
