can be captured. You can change the enabled buffers at any time to maximize buffer
utilization. When the buffer configuration is changed, both buffers are reset and
information currently in the buffers at that time is lost.
— Auto Export/Fault Buffer allows you to enable or disable automatically exporting captured
console data.
• Export Boot/Fault Buffer enables you to specify the URL location of a web server that accepts
a PUT or POST Method data transfer. For example: http://192.168.1.1/images/
capture%h%t.ilo transfers the internal-capture buffers to a web server at the IP address
192.168.1.1, and stores the data in the images folder using the filename
captureServerNameDateTime-Boot(or Fault).ilo.
Where:
— %h specifies the addition of the server name to the filename
— %t specifies that a time stamp will be included in the filename
— Boot or Fault is automatically added to denote the buffer type as either a
boot-sequence or fault-sequence event
For more information about web server configuration, and how to configure an Apache web
server to accept exported capture buffers, see “Configuring Apache to accept exported capture
buffers” (page 194).
◦ Export enables you to trigger an export manually.
◦ Export username is the username for the web server that is specified in the URL.
◦ Password is the password of the web server that is specified in the URL.
After making changes, click Apply.
• Serial Port Configuration displays the current settings of the system serial ports and the Virtual
Serial Port. The Settings for the system and virtual serial ports are also displayed, showing the
COM ports in use and IRQ numbers.
• iLO 2 Virtual Serial Port displays the current status of the Virtual Serial Port connection. The
possible modes available are: in use raw mode, or in use normal mode. If the connection is
in use, the Disconnect button is available and can be used to disconnect a Virtual Serial Port
connection. Raw mode indicates that a client is connected using the WiLODbg.exe utility
which is used for remote Windows kernel debugging.
Hot Keys enable you to define keystroke sequences that are transmitted to the remote host server
by pressing a hot key. Remote Console hot keys allow specific key sequences such as Alt+Tab and
Alt+SysRq to be passed to the server from the Remote Console Java session. For more information,
see “Remote console hot keys” (page 83).
Java displays the Java requirements for each supported operating system and a link to download
Java. For more information, see “Supported browsers and client operating systems” (page 15).
Remote console hot keys
The Program Remote Console Hot Keys page enables you to define up to six multiple key
combinations assigned to each hot key. When a hot key is pressed in the Remote Console, on
client systems, the defined key combination (all keys pressed at the same time) are transmitted in
place of the hot key to the remote host server. To access AltGr symbols on international keyboards,
use hot keys to define these symbols. For a list of support hot keys, see (“Supported hot keys” (page
84).
Remote console hot keys are active during a Remote Console session through the IRC, Remote
Console applet, and during a text Remote Console session through a Telnet client. When using
the IRC, keyboard LED states for NumLock, CapsLock and ScrollLock on the client keyboard do
