Using this feature, you can do the following: • View and interact with the boot sequence of your server. • Perform maintenance activities in text mode. • Manage nongraphical mode operating systems. The console window remains open until you sign out of the iLO 3 interface using the provided link in the banner, leave the iLO 3 site, or refresh the entire page. The remote serial console provides the console, and the GUI provides the iLO 3 MP Main Menu functionality. Output from the console is stored in nonvolatile memory in the console log, regardless of whether or not any users are connected to a console. TIP: In Internet Explorer, the Tab key might cause the browser to change focus away from the applet. To regain focus, click the applet window. If you want to use the Tab key, use the Zoom Out feature, available by clicking the Zoom In/Out button at the top of the applet window. HP-UX example: Applications which care about the terminal type (install, SAM, vi, and so on) running on HP-UX use two methods to determine the terminal type: The $TERM shell environment variable. The application directly queries the terminal (in this case, the write enabled terminal establishes the terminal type). Remote Serial Console Integrity iLO 3 contains a remote serial console that enables it to actually be the console hardware device for the operating system. This console is a serial interface between the host system and iLO 3. Integrity iLO 3 converts the serial data stream to be available remotely through the remote serial console (a VT320 Java applet). The remote serial console must be correctly enabled and configured in the host. The remote serial console function is a bidirectional data flow of the data stream appearing on the server serial port. Using the remote console paradigm, a remote user can operate as if a physical serial connection is present on the server serial port. With the remote serial console, an administrator can access a console application such as Windows EMS remotely over the network. Integrity iLO 3 contains the functional equivalent of the standard serial port (16550 UART) register set, and the iLO 3 firmware provides a Java applet that connects to the server serial port. If the serial redirection feature is enabled on the host server, iLO 3 intercepts the data coming from the serial port, encrypts it, and sends it to the web browser applet. For Linux users, the iLO remote serial console provides an important function for remote access to the Linux server. By configuring a Linux login process attached to the server serial port, you can use the iLO remote serial console to remotely log in to the Linux operating system over the network. For more information on using the remote serial console, see Integrated Lights-Out Virtual Serial Port configuration and operation on the HP website at http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/ support/SupportManual/c00263709/c00263709.pdf. Integrated Remote Console The Integrated Remote Console (IRC) is a signed Direct X application which enables a user to securely manage HP Integrity Servers with Integrated Lights-Out. The IRC integrates keyboard, video, and mouse into a virtual interface providing an experience similar to that of the remote server graphics console. With the IRC, a user can view the server system graphics display to directly interact with the server and perform maintenance activities as well as open and run applications on the server using the keyboard and mouse control. The console makes use of the hardware acceleration and advanced graphics features in .NET Framework. The console is launched using Microsoft ClickOnce technology. Web GUI 73
