iLO 2 standard - remote console and text mode linux
some of our recently-bought ProLiants have iLO 2 on board. With iLO 1, when a server running Linux was in text mode (kernel option vga=normal) remote console worked beautifully.
Now with iLO 2, even when in text mode, iLO 2 insists that an Advanced license is required to view this *GRAPHIC* mode. But it isn't graphic, it's 80x25 text based, and the very same config worked fine in iLO 1.
Is this a bug in iLO 2 or is it just a clever marketing move to make people buy advanced licenses?

Re: iLO 2 standard - remote console and text mode linux
What is the Proliant server with the ILO 2 we are talking?
The ProLiant p-class BL servers include the advanced license key.
Press Enter when prompted for a license on a blade server; otherwise, the XML script will not be executed on the designated server.
To configure the availability of the Remote Console port, complete the following steps:
1. Log on to the iLO management device using an account that has supervisor status.
2. In the Administration section,
├в ┬в For iLO, click Global Settings then click Access.
├в ┬в For iLO 2, click Settings then click Access.
3. In the Remote Console Port Configuration section, click the appropriate option.
Hope this answers!!!!!
Regards,
rmn

Re: iLO 2 standard - remote console and text mode linux
But my point was: it used to work in iLO 1 _without_ an Adanced license. So I thought it still should work on iLO 2 without an Advanced license.

Re: iLO 2 standard - remote console and text mode linux
iLO 2 supports POST standard, and requires iLO Advanced for remote console otherwise. (Blade servers have remote console as a standard capability).
You will also note that iLO 2 does not support a "remcons" command from the command-line interface (SSH). This is because iLO 2 acquires the host console in a different way, in which there is no "Graphics" mode or "text" mode.
If you want a text console for Linux, assign a tty to the virtual serial port. You can access the VSP from the browser or from SSH through the command-line interface.
For details, visit:
www.hp.com/servers/lights-out, pick your product, select Support & Documents, then Manuals.
View "Integrated Lights-Out Virtual Serial Port configuration and operation HOWTO."

Re: iLO 2 standard - remote console and text mode linux
This is also does work for installationpurposes, as there is no serial console for it.
Any help

Re: iLO 2 standard - remote console and text mode linux
http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/remotemgmt/supported-servers.html
The remote console is accessed using a browser and launching the Integrated Remote Console or the Remote Console applets.
You will not see an explicit "text mode" for remote console listed.
