Re: Recommend a KVM for Integrity servers
Did you try the web interface of the iLO/MP?
I'm not sure whether or not the iLO is able to display a Windows graphical screen. But it's definately worth looking at if you run UNIX or VMS.
My 2 cents,
Armin

SolutionKnown working KVMs are the HP console switches
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/proliantstorage/rack-options/list.html#console
with the USB adapters.
I would strongly recomend to use a KVM that supports serial connections, too, because some features of Integrity servers are only available via the serial interface or network (the iLO2 Management Processor).
I hope this helps,
best regards
Stefan

Re: Recommend a KVM for Integrity servers
Or you use the internal iLO!
Configure the iLO with an IP adress and you can do the following thing:
- reach the system console (via telnet or ssh)
- reach the system console via web browser (java applet)
- power the system on and off from remote
- check the system log in case of any error
- do firmware upgrades from remote
- etc...
You get all that for free because you already paid for the iLO!
For a complete documentation see http://docs.hp.com/en/5991-6005/index.html
UNIX server don't really need a graphical GUI. If you like the iLO features, you can leave the graphics adapter out of the system next time you buy one.
My 2 cents,
Armin

Re: Recommend a KVM for Integrity servers
The WEB interface does alot of the reset options, checking logs, errors, etc.
Definitely look into using learning and document whatever you need using the CLI because there may be a time when the GUI (x-window, CDE, whatever) isn't available.

Re: Recommend a KVM for Integrity servers
You NEED the serial console to be able to manage your UNIX box!
UNIX servers usually don't have a graphics adapter because it's not needed.
And, to get real, what are you doing after logging in to CDE? Starting a dtterm/xterm..
You get the same functionality by using an X-Server (like Exceed or Reflection) on you local Windows box. Or you connect via telnet, putty etc... you always get a kind of CLI.
I don't want to convert you to CLI, but you better get used to the iLO, because there are things you can't do with the GUI (and even not with the CLI) e.g. TOC a hanging system to get a crashdump to send to HP. Consider reading the iLO documentation and judge AFTER reading.
My 2 cents,
Armin
