Remote console access to the host server after server POST is a licensed feature available with the
purchase of optional licenses. For more information, see "Licensing (on page 26)". To access iLO 2
Remote Console, click Remote Console. The Remote Console Information page appears.

Remote Console overview and licensing options

Remote Console and Integrated Remote Console connections are graphical and must be rendered using a
client program that can process iLO 2 graphics commands. Two clients are provided to render the iLO 2
graphics:
•
Java™-based Remote Console
•
Windows® Active X-based Integrated Remote Console
For those clients that do not understand iLO 2 graphics, SSH and telnet, you must use the iLO 2 Remote
Serial Console or purchase an iLO Advanced license to use the text-based console after POST.
ESX consoles, in particular ESX console 1, do not fully support iLO 2 Remote Console and Integrated
Remote Console. ESX does not support Remote Serial Console.
iLO 2 blades ship with the iLO 2 Standard Blade Edition, which includes the Remote Console. However,
the HP ProLiant ML and HP ProLiant DL models ship with the iLO Standard license, which does not include
the Remote Console or Integrated Remote Console. As soon as the server starts to boot an operating
system, the iLO 2 Standard on the HP ProLiant ML and ProLiant DL models displays a message that
indicates the need for the iLO 2 Advanced license. For more information, see "Licensing (on page 26)."
