Info

With the Remote Console, you have complete control over a remote host server as if you were in front ofit. You can access the remote file system and the network drives. The Remote Console enables you tochange hardware and software settings of the remote host server, install applications and drivers, changeremote 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 andinitiate ROM-based setup routines to configure the hardware of the remote host server. When installingoperating systems remotely, the graphical Remote Console (if licensed) enables you to view and controlthe host server screen throughout the installation process.In the Remote Console application, two cursors are on the screen: the main cursor and a secondary cursorwithin the Remote Console frame. When passing the main cursor across the Remote Console frame, thesecondary cursor tracks the main cursor.The mouse cursor of the client computer appears within the Remote Console as a cross-hair symbol. Forbest performance, be sure to configure the host operating system display as described in "Optimizingperformance for graphical Remote Console (on page 75)."The Remote Console option is supported with Java 1.1 VM and later. To synchronize the remote andlocal cursors if they drift apart:1. Right-click, drag, and move the local cross-hair cursor to align with the mouse cursor of the remoteserver.2. Press and hold the Ctrl key, and move the local cross-hair cursor to align with the mouse cursor ofthe remote server.The local cursor assumes the shape of the remote cursor. The cursor appears as a single cursor if the localcursor and the remote cursor are perfectly aligned and the hardware acceleration is set to Full on themanaged server.Remote Console performance tuning and optimizationsThe Remote Console applet contains buttons that provide iLO 2 with enhanced features and control. Theseoptions are:• Refresh—Forces iLO 2 to refresh the screen.• Terminal Svcs—Launches the Microsoft® Terminal Services client installed on this system. Thisbutton is deactivated if Terminal Services is disabled or is not installed on the server.Using iLO 2 74
• Ctrl-Alt-Del—Enters the key sequence Ctrl+Alt+Del in the Remote Console.• Alt Lock—When selected, any key pressed is sent to the server as if you pressed the Alt key andanother key simultaneously.• High Performance Mouse—When selected, changes the mouse from PS2 emulation to USB HID,greatly improving mouse performance.• Character Set—Changes the default character set used by the Remote Console. Modifying theRemote Console character set ensures the correct display of characters.• Close—Closes the Remote Console window and ends the Remote Console session.Optimizing performance for graphical Remote ConsoleHP recommends the following client and server settings based on the operating system used.Recommended client settingsIdeally, the remote server operating system display resolution should be the same resolution, or smaller,than that of the browser computer. Higher server resolutions transmit more information, slowing the overallperformance.Use the following client and browser settings to optimize performance:• Display Properties• Select an option greater than 256 colors.• Select a greater screen resolution than the screen resolution of the remote server.• Linux X Display Properties—On the X Preferences screen, set the font size to 12.• Remote Console• For Remote Console speed, HP recommends using a 700-MHz or faster client with 128 MB ormore of memory.• For the Remote Console Java applet execution, HP recommends using a single processor client.• Mouse Properties• Set the Mouse Pointer speed to the middle setting.• Set the Mouse Pointer Acceleration to low or disable the pointer acceleration.Remote Serial ConsoleThe Remote Serial Console enables you to access a VT320 serial console from a Java applet-basedconsole connected to the iLO 2 Virtual Serial Port through a broad browser compatibility includingWindows® and Linux browsers.Launching the Remote Serial Console enables you to exchange text data with the host using the iLO 2Virtual Serial Port. Use the Remote Serial Console option to access the server console if operating systemsupport is present. Servers can support multiple serial controllers (UARTs) using standard or customresource assignments. Refer to the "Virtual Serial Port configuration" section.The current configuration is displayed on the Remote Console Information page when you click theRemote Console tab. You can alter the current settings using the host system RBSU that is accessed duringserver reset.Using iLO 2 75
