Browsers And Client Operating Systems That Support The Irc; Irc-Supported Resolutions And Browser Configurations - HP Integrity BL870c Operation Manual

NOTE: If you run system discovery utilities such as MAPPER or IOSCAN, the output might
display an extra keyboard and mouse that are not physically connected. This is a consequence
of the IRC feature.

Browsers and Client Operating Systems that Support the IRC

You can view the list of supported browsers and client operating systems for IRC and vKVM on
the HP website at http://www.hp.com/go/integrityilo.

IRC-Supported Resolutions and Browser Configurations

This section provides information on Microsoft Windows and HP-UX graphics settings for the
IRC.
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and HP-UX Graphics Resolution Settings for the IRC
To properly access and view the IRC and optimize performance, set your Windows-based HP
Integrity server to the specifications listed below.
For display and mouse properties, the following settings are suggested:
Server Display Properties
• Set the background to plain (no wallpaper pattern) on the host server.
• Set the client screen resolution higher than the host server for best remote console
performance.
• Set the display resolution to 800 x 600 pixels, or the maximum supported resolution of 1024
x 768 pixels.
NOTE: The resolution on the host server must not exceed 1024 x 768 pixels. Higher
resolutions can produce unpredictable results.
• Set the display color mode to 256 colors, or 24-bit colors.
Server Mouse Properties
• For mouse pointer scheme, select None.
• Select Disable Pointer Trails.
• Deselect Enable Pointer Shadow.
• Select Motion or Pointer Options, and set the pointer speed slider to the middle position.
• Deselect Enhanced pointer precision.
To automate setting an optimal mouse configuration, download the Lights-Out Optimization
utility from the HP website at:
http://www.hp.com/servers/lights-out
Click the Best Practices graphic and select Maximize Performance .
Console Settings
The default console is the serial console.
HP recommends leaving the console settings on serial to preserve SSH access and the iLO 2
console logs.
Console settings affect the information that you see on the IRC. In HP-UX, if you modify the
console settings in EFI to graphics, the modivication affects the IRC as follows:
• If you set VGA-Primary and Serial-Not Configured in EFI, the IRC is a system console. If
you configure HP-UX to start X Windows, IRC also acts as an X terminal.
• If you set Serial-Primary and VGA-Not Configured in EFI, the IRC is only an X terminal.
