ie8 crashing with remote console

Gareth H Wilson — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 11:33:45 GMT

we are finding that ie8 just goes to not responding when trying to do anything with our blade server ilo, v1.6, 1.70 & 1.77 it opens the window and then just goes to not responding, has anyone else seen this and if so do u have a fix for it, (it is happening on more than one pc on xp and vista)

Did you try removing IE8 and going back to IE7?

Did you try runnin IE8 in Compatibility mode?

IE8 has "issues" with many software and hardware web interfaces including the Array Configuration Utility.

it works fine in ie7, but this browser has been offically released my microsoft for months now and it should work on the latest ilo firmwares !

compatability modes makes zero difference

We work with IE8 (XP/Vista) and iLO (1.70, 1.77) - all works Ok

Nevertheless we have another problem with IE8 - when we open Virtual connect manager in IE8 - we cannot change server profiles, so we use IE7 and FireFox for this task

IE8 was officially released March 19th, 2009.

It hasn't even been 3 months yet. You make it sound like IE8 has been available for 6+ months and is the best Web Browser available.

Do you immediatelly install the latest available service pack to all of your windows hosts as soon as it becomes available?

Are you using the Integrated Console? or the Java Console on your blade server iLo's?

we use the integrated remote console option so we can then map the virtual media etc

and the beta came out almost 12 months ago so you would have hoped that hp would check it out compatability wise before the offical release came as its now pushed out to all machines via windows update as a security update

the problem seems to be related to the google toolbar we have installed, once this is disabled then so far so good.

I had the same prob a few weeks ago on a clients site.
Shame firefox isn't supported for vmedia.....yet

"one question what is your java version ?? "

Doesn't matter in this case since the problem was with activeX. (Integrated Console)

You can mount media for the java client. You need to log into the web management page for the ilo and than hit the media tab. Just a couple of extra steps.

My IE8 also crashes all the time with integrated remote console, it is extremely frustrating. I find this usually happens when the server is rebooting, but this is not always the case.

Internet Explorer is and always has been a pile of garbage, it frustrates me that I cannot run integrated remote console using firefox.

But since I am stuck with it did anyone find a solution to this problem?

Re: ie8 crashing with remote console

Gareth H Wilson — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 08:08:42 GMT

stick with IE 7 is theonly solution i found :(

Re: ie8 crashing with remote console

LAURENT Aurélien — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 08:10:58 GMT

yes of course

but revert to IE7 after installing IE8 is impossible (or at least not easily)

I've got issues with IE8 on two different machines accessing OA & iLO.
I'm using a xw6000 with XP/IE8 if I'm in the OA and access an iLO link and I dont hear the floppy motor jerk I know ilO is working. The moment I hear the floppy motor .... that means I have to shutdown IE and restart it and try again.

Regardless of the version of IE, iLO2 needs to work with more than one browser. Please extend support to firefox and any of the others in the mix.

I see the IE 8 bug too...

ILO on IE8 on Windows7 is even worse. In most cases ILO console does not survive server reboot.
I support the request for full featured Java-based console.
Let me know if there is workarounds for a console + virtual CD on Windows7.

P.S. ILO 1.78 Jun 10 2009 on BL460c.

Same story here. IE8 on Windows 7 and on Windows 2003 is very frustrating!

9 out of the 10 times it will fail and hang IE8.

Running iLO 1.78

I must demand that HP gives some info on why this is happening and why has this not been fixed. This issue has been lurking around for months and it is unacceptable that users have to stick with IE7 for normal access to OA
