seems
to tell me that in basic mode I can only access BIOS (pre-OS)
using the
Remote Console feature, and that after POST I have to have the
advanced
licensed option?
I don't do the purchasing and we get all Advanced iLO, so I will take
your word for it. The older generations supported text console (i
have
a 360G2 that does so). We use the HP Management agents under
Windows
for all SNMP reporting so I can't comment on the reporting method
under
other OS's.
iLO2 ActiveX based remote console (Integrated KVM) can still do
text only console without license but it doesn't work too well IMHO.
The Java based console is the same, text will work out license but
graphics
mode and that includes certain VESA text modes.
Standard iLO gives the graphical console and virtual media. On Blade
servers
the graphical access and virtual media is included. And the Advanced
license
gives extra stuff like integration into AD for authentication afik.
How about SSH mode? SSH and view textmode at boot (serial rdr in bios
too?) and console @ serial in fbsd (bootloader and on). Does that work
good or "not to well" either?
Lets hope it works out good now at least, I ordered the box, without
full license though, but I guess I can always get that later on if it
turns out to work like crap.. But for once I'm purchasing quality
brand hardware.. So it should work with me instead of against me... I
hope :)
Thank you all for all of your replies!
