NOTE: Before the LC command allows you to configure an IP address, you must boot the system to EFI so the Lights-Out Advanced KVM card can be detected by system firmware. TIP: You never need to connect serial cables to the Lights-Out Advanced KVM card. The Lights-Out Advanced KVM card communicates to iLO 2 through an internal bus. Lights-Out Advanced KVM Card IRC Feature The iLO 2 MP that is built into your server provides, as a standard feature, a virtual serial console where you can view the entire managed server in the standard HP-UX, Linux, OpenVMS, or Windows headless console format. The IRC feature of the Lights-Out Advanced KVM card enables you to view video output from the managed OS hard partition (nPartition) where the Lights-Out Advanced KVM card is installed, providing a seamless view from the server boot to OS desktop. The Lights-Out Advanced hardware captures three essential components for the managed (host) nPartition: • Keyboard input to the console • Video output • Mouse input to the console When a user activates the remote console on the Windows management workstation, the Lights-Out Advanced KVM card sends all keyboard and mouse input from the IRC / vKVM client to the host nPartition. For information on how to use the IRC, see "Integrated Remote Console" (page 119). Lights-Out Advanced KVM Card vMedia Feature Virtual Media support, which is part of the Lights-Out Advanced KVM card feature set, provides users with a virtual disk drive that connects to the managed server through the same management LAN as the iLO/MP, just as if it were physically connected to the server. The Lights-Out Advanced KVM card uses a client-server model to perform vMedia functions. The Lights-Out Advanced KVM card streams virtual media data across a live network connection between the remote management console and the host server. The virtual media Java applet provides data to the Lights-Out Advanced KVM card as it is requested. The Lights-Out Advanced KVM card contains a USB device that is viewed by the host OS as if it were a physical USB device connected to the server. Under the control of the Lights-Out Advanced KVM card firmware, a virtual USB device can be remotely connected to the host server. When the virtual media is connected, an OS that is USB-aware loads its standard USB 60 Adding Advanced Features
