Re: iLO Monitored Server Is In An Unsupported Text Mode
For iLO 1, the mode of the system's video console matters. I assume you mean 80x40, not 80x400.
If you see the console from the direct-connected monitor, but not iLO, it means that iLO is having problems. If both displays are not working, there is something else wrong.
Are you accessing the remote console using the web->remote console interface, or using the command-line "remcons"?
The web interface might have success where the REMCONS command has trouble.
I am assuming that the OS you are using is putting the system into a mutant text mode that iLO does not recognize. Not all 80x40 screens are alike. Some other options:
1) put the system in 80x25 mode and verify tht it works. Then try different modes until you find one that works without blocking iLO access.
2) put the system into a graphics mode.
When the video is in a text mode, iLO captures the text by scanning the frame buffer for th ASCII character codes.
When the video is in a graphics mode, iLO captures the screen by reading the pixels in the frame buffer.
(background on these modes is discussed in this whitepaper in the "remote console technologies" section:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00257345/c00257345.pdf
Other iLO white papers are here:

Re: iLO Monitored Server Is In An Unsupported Text Mode
thanx for replies!
external monitor is complete blank - no video signal, iLO gives the unsupported message. Have only been using RC via iLO management page. Last time out of two earlier gave that also iLO wasn├В┬┤t reachable except for monitor...therefore HP changed motherboard.
However, customer will not let me in to their fw environment - but I will pass on a link to this forum for them to solve that part of the problem.
Thanx again!
