HP ProLiant ML310 G3 Storage Server - Manual (Page 23)

Logging off and disconnecting
Remote Desktop provides two options when closing a client: you can either disconnect or log off the
system.
Disconnecting leaves the session running on the server. You can reconnect to the server and resume the
session. If you are performing a task on the server, you can start the task and disconnect from the session.
Later, you can log back on the server, re-enter the session, and either resume the task or check results.
This is especially helpful when operating over a remote connection on a long-distance toll line.
Ending the session is known as logging off. Logging off ends the session running on the server. Any
applications running within the session are closed, and unsaved changes made to open files will be lost.
The next time you log onto the server, a new session is created.
Remote Desktop requires that all connecting users be authenticated, which is why users must log on
each time they start a session.
Telnet Server
Telnet Server is a utility that lets users connect to machines, log on, and obtain a command prompt
remotely. Telnet Server is preinstalled on the storage server, but must be activated before use.
CAUTION:
For security reasons, the Telnet Server is disabled by default. The service needs to be modified to
enable access to the storage server with Telnet.
Enabling Telnet Server
The Telnet Server service needs to be enabled prior to its access. The service can be enabled by
opening the services MMC:
1. Select Start > Run, and then enter services.msc.
2. Locate and right-click the Telnet service and then select Properties.
3. Choose one of the following:
• For the Telnet service to start up automatically on every reboot, in the Startup Type drop-down
box, click Automatic, and then click OK.
• For the Telnet service to be started manually on every reboot, in the Startup Type drop-down
box, click Manual, and then click OK.
On the storage server, access the command line interface, either by Remote Desktop or a direct
connection, and then enter the following command:
net start tlntsvr
Sessions information
The sessions screen provides the ability to view or terminate active sessions.
Using the Integrated Lights-Out 2 method
Integrated Lights-Out 2 (iLO 2) is HP's fourth generation of Lights-Out management technology that
allows you to perform virtually any system administrator or maintenance task remotely as if you were
using its keyboard, mouse and monitor, power button and floppy, CD or USB key, whether or not the
server is operating. It is available in two forms, iLO 2 Standard and iLO 2 Advanced. iLO 2 Standard
provides basic system board management functions, diagnostics and essential Lights-Out functionality on
supported ProLiant servers. iLO 2 Advanced provides advanced remote administration functionality as a
licensed option, which is included with the ProLiant Storage Server.
