accessing HP iLO virtual console

[Julien Cigar]

Hello,

I used to access the iLO virtual consoles of my HP servers through the
web interface and the JVM plugin.. Now that JVM is slowly dying and
unsupported by latest Firefox release I'm wondering how to access the
Virtual Serial Console through SSH ..?

After $> ssh my.ilo.host I'm issuing:
</>hpiLO-> textcons
but I'm getting a: "Monitor is in graphics mode or an unsupported text
mode." (I guess it's some sort of incompatibility with vt..)
I also tried:
</>hpiLO-> VSP

Virtual Serial Port Active: COM1

Starting virtual serial port.
Press 'ESC (' to return to the CLI Session.

.. and then it freezes..

any enlightenment ? :)

Thanks!

Julien

Are you sure COM1 is appropriate? All I have seen is on COM2, I think
the Proliant's are shipped with that port as the standard virtual.

Although Firefox Java plugin is dying, javaws in java/linux-oracle-jre18
still can be used to connect iLO.

You just need to download the .jnlp file from https://<ilo_ip> and run
"[env LANG=en_US.UTF-8] javaws​ *.jnlp".
