HP-UX iLO Remote Serial Console
When I click on the 'View Console' button, Java loads up a terminal and all I get is a black screen with the line cursor blinking. Changing terminal types to hpterm, vt100 (default is vt100+) doesn't help. If I constantly type something or hit the 'Reset' button I eventually get a 'Session ID Mismatch' error.
I'm not sure where the issue is originating. I've attempted this on a variety of different computers with different version of IE and Java so am not sure it is a client issue. The situation is also occurring on several different 9000 series servers.
Any help with this would be appreciated. I imagine it could be a certificate problem, client setup, possible baud rate/terminal setting? (currently set to 9600/vt100+ default).
Best Regards,
Tom

Re: HP-UX iLO Remote Serial Console
You need to go back to telnet and configure the MP/ilo device properly.
Most organizations don't really trust java authentication for console access anyway.
I don't believe this is a problem with your client, but rather the MP device may not be capable of doing what you ask it to do.

Re: HP-UX iLO Remote Serial Console
"HP-UX 9000 series systems" is just too general - it's the whole family.
What server model do you have?
On some models ssh access is a licenced feature only.
Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Re: HP-UX iLO Remote Serial Console
The port number should be specified somewhere in the MP/iLO settings. The exact location depends on server model and MP/iLO firmware version. (I think the earliest MP/iLO firmwares might have had the port number hardcoded: see the hardware documentation at docs.hp.com in this case.)
If you have a firewall that allows access to iLO's port 443, but blocks the connection to the Java terminal access port, it might cause problems like what you're describing.
If the console works using telnet to MP/iLO, it's not a baud rate issue.
You should get some output with an incorrect terminal type setting too; it just won't be as pretty.

Re: HP-UX iLO Remote Serial Console
Yes, SSH is only available through an advanced license. That is why I was focusing on using SSL, which is freely available instead.
At this point, I've just decided to keep using telnet until such a time that the SSL/remote console interface is stable and functional. I'm dealing with several hundred MP's to manage, so having telnet allows me to do easy pExpect scripting against them anyway. The iLO SSL interface redirects a lot, making cURL coding very unpleasant.
I've just locked everything down except the telnet interface... and of course the password on the devices is separate from the usual root password. I have several Itanium boxes too, will be checking iLO on those as well in a bit to see if the issue has anything to do with the underlying system.
