what is UID Light, can it be turned on and off while system is on line?
What caused the remote console shown as "OFFLINE" when Remote Console "Launch" button is clicked?
Thank for your suggestions.

Hi Guster,

The UID means unit Identifier. It is used to identify a unit in a group, easily .

For example, u have 12 servers in a rack and you need to check the HBA connections on the rear side of a system. You can turn the UID on and go back to the rear side of the rack and easily identify the system since the UID light is ON for the same.

It can be turned ON or OFF online.

Hi,

Chekc the the idle timeout value and set it higher. By default it's only 15 minutes I think. This value can be found under administration >> access >> options

Other issues which may caused this kind of issues are iLO FW and the JAJA version what you are using. The browser cache also can be an issue. Try to clear the same and observe.
