Tab key problem in Remote Console (iLO)

RBrightwell — Tue, 17 Jul 2007 08:23:07 GMT

I have noticed this just recently (the last few weeks). When in remote console on the iLO on a Proliant server (several models), the Tab key doesn't function like it used to. For example when logging into a Windows server, you click Ctrl+Alt+Del, type in the user name, hit tab, type in the password. But when typing the tab to go to the password field, IE interprets the tab and changes the focus to the URL line on the browser. I have to use the mouse to change fields within an iLO Remote Console session. Is this an IE problem or an iLO issue?

Yes, I'm using IE 7. I am unable to test in Firefox as this is not used at my work.

I am having the exact same problem. Seems okay in firefox just not IE. I am using IE6 on Winxp sp2.

I'm still having this issue as well. I've updated the iLO firmware and I've tested this in IE6, but the problem remains...

I have found it doesn't occur with ALL our servers, but the majority. Once I find a server that doesn't exhibit this problem I'll post up the version of ILO it's running.

We have the same problem. This appears to be where it lies:

Confirmed that Firefox works OK. iLo2 works as well, so problem is only with original iLo, IE & Java 1.5.0 Update 8+

Given that the iLo2 java console is OK, and Sun seem to be slow in fixing this, are HP looking at a firmware workaround for the iLo that makes it work the same as the iLo2??

Thank you NSK. I have confirmed that it works in iLO2 as well. Thanks for that link.
