If Remote Console Data Encryption is enabled, the Virtual Serial Port data stream is encrypted as data is
passed between the iLO system and the viewing applet.
Serial port configuration displays the server configuration information, the available serial ports, and the
virtual serial port status. Status appears as:
Available—The virtual serial port is not in use
In use—Normal mode when the virtual serial port is connected normally
In use—Raw mode when the WiLODbg.exe utility is used to connect
When the virtual serial port is in use, the Disconnect button is enabled and can be used to terminate any
type of virtual serial port connection.
Windows® EMS Console
The Windows® EMS Console, if enabled, provides the ability to perform Emergency Management
Services in cases where video, device drivers, or other operating system features have prevented normal
operation and normal corrective actions from being performed.
iLO, however, enables you to use EMS over the network through a Web browser. Microsoft® EMS
enables you to display running processes, change the priority of processes, and halt processes. The EMS
console and the iLO Remote Console can be used at the same time.
The Windows® EMS serial port must be enabled through the host system RBSU. The configuration allows
for the enabling or disabling of the EMS port, and the selection of the COM port. The iLO system
automatically detects whether the EMS port is enabled or disabled, and the selection of the COM port.
To obtain the SAC> prompt, entering Enter might be required after connecting through the Virtual Serial
Port console.
For more information on using the EMS features, refer to the Windows® Server 2003 documentation.
Virtual serial port raw mode
You can use the virtual serial port capability of iLO to connect a Windows® Kernel Debugger® from a
remote client using WiLODbg.exe. WiLODbg.exe bypasses the decoding of bytes by the iLO firmware.
After bypassing the decoding of bytes, the virtual serial port is in RAW mode (unprocessed) and sent
directly to the serial port.
WiLODbg.exe is a utility that is executed on a client system with the Microsoft® application WinDBG.exe
or KD.exe installed. When you execute WiLODbg.exe, it establishes a virtual serial port connection to iLO
and enables RAW mode. WiLODbg.exe also automatically launches WinDBG.exe with the appropriate
switches necessary for WinDBG.exe to connect to the remote iLO device.
