Figure 101 Granting or denying permission to acquire the Remote Console
If there is no response in 10 seconds, permission is granted.
Using the Remote Console power switch
To use the power switch, select one of the following options from the power switch menu:
•
Momentary Press—The same as pressing the physical power button. If a server is powered
off, a momentary press will turn the server power on.
Some operating systems might be configured to initiate a graceful shutdown after a momentary
press, or to ignore this event. HP recommends using system commands to complete a graceful
operating system shutdown before you attempt to shut down by using the Virtual Power button.
•
Press and Hold—The same as pressing the physical power button for 5 seconds and then
releasing it.
The server is powered off as a result of this operation. Using this option might circumvent the
graceful shutdown features of the operating system.
This option provides the ACPI functionality that some operating systems implement. These
operating systems behave differently depending on a short press or long press.
•
Cold Boot—Immediately removes power from the server. Processors, memory, and I/O resources
lose main power. The server will restart after approximately 6 seconds. Using this option
circumvents the graceful shutdown features of the operating system.
•
Reset—Forces the server to warm-boot: CPUs and I/O resources are reset. Using this option
circumvents the graceful shutdown features of the operating system.
NOTE: The Press and Hold, Reset, and Cold Boot options are not available when the server is
powered down.
Using iLO Virtual Media from the Remote Console
For instructions on using the Virtual Media feature from the Remote Console, see “Using iLO Virtual
Media from the Remote Console” (page 222) .
Using Shared Remote Console (.NET IRC only)
Shared Remote Console allows the connection of multiple sessions on the same server. This feature
can be used for activities such as training and troubleshooting.
This feature and many others are part of an iLO licensing package. For more information about
iLO licensing, see the following website:

The first user to initiate a Remote Console session connects to the server normally and is designated
as the session leader. Any subsequent user who requests Remote Console access initiates an access
request for a satellite client connection. A dialog box for each access request opens on the session
leader's desktop, identifying the requester's user name and DNS name (if available) or IP address.
