I've got a compute farm full of various Proliant DL G9 models. I'm stuck working at home with my Ubuntu 18.04 LTS laptop. (18.04 because Android devs are stuck there.) I don't have convenient access to a MacOS or Microsoft Windows host here at home.
The iLo "integrated remote console" has always been a hit or miss thing. I try various combinations of Chrome, Firefox, .net Framework, mono, and Java. Eventually one of them has always worked, a different combination each time. Today, none of them works. If I were on call this week I'd be in real trouble.
I'd like to know two things. 1. What's a working combination of browser and bloat plugin (.NET or Java) to access the iLo 4 console from Ubuntu this week?
2. Why hasn't the team that wrote and maintains iLo been fired and sued for the pain they have inflicted on HPE customers? How is it that Supermicro and Dell and Digital Ocean have solved this problem, while HPE won't even acknowledge that it's a problem? This is the only remote access product in my universe that isn't reliable in an emergency and easy to use.
