ie8 crashing with remote console

[BrianDoyle]

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?

[Gareth H Wilson]

stick with IE 7 is theonly solution i found :(

[LAURENT Aurélien]

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
