How do I use iLO to start an Integrated Remote Console?

One of the main benefits of having iLO configured on your server is that it allows you to stat an Integrated Remote Console. The remote console provides you with the same controls you would have if you were stood at the server, with a keyboard, mouse and monitor attached.

To start a remote console through iLO, first log in to the control panel and then press Java Web Start in-line Integrated Remote Console. A jnlp file will now download.

Now open up the viewer.jnlp file.

The Java Web Start iLO remote console uses the Java application to work. What happens now depends on your Java version and your Java setup on the PC you are accessing the iLO on. Depending on the Java settings, a Security Warning box may now appear. If this is the case press Continue. You may also be asked if you want to run the Java application. If so, press run.

The virtual console will window should now start.
