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.
