best. Irrespective of the console, IRC allows you to interact with X Windows when it is running.
For instructions on how to configure the system console to use VGA, see Installation and Update
Guide for your operating system at http://docs.hp.com/.
The following are required to use IRC:
• An Integrity server with Integrity iLO 2 management processor and VGA graphics.
• Integrity iLO 2 Advanced functionality (available as a license key AD301A for entry-class
servers).
• Management processor (MP) firmware version F.02.17 or T.02.17 or newer.
NOTE: Integrity iLO 2 Advanced Pack licenses (AD301A) are factory installed on every
Integrity BL860c and BL870c blade. No additional licenses are needed to use IRC with these
servers.
• USB driver patch. For the latest information on USB driver patches, refer the Update to USB
Driver Support on HP-UX for 11iv(x) document in the USB-00 section under 11iv2 or 11iv3
operating environment sections, available on docs.hp.com.
• X server patch PHSS_39257 or newer on HP-UX 11i v2 (11.23), patch PHSS_39258 or newer
on HP-UX 11i v3 (11.31).
• CDE patch PHSS_39408 or newer on HP-UX 11i v2 (11.23), patch PHSS_39409 or newer on
HP-UX 11i v3 (11.31).
NOTE: On HP-UX 11i v3 (11.31), this CDE patch is recommended for maintaining similar
behavior of the product on both versions.
For additional information on IRC, see http://www.hp.com/go/integrityilo.
The X server must be configured for IRC operation to recognize the virtual devices. Use the SAM
or SMH utility to perform the configuration (See the Using SAM/SMH to configure the X Server
section). SAM / SMH will allow you to enable or disable either the local or the virtual input
devices. The IRC hardware allows a maximum resolution of 1024x768 pixels.
The IRC virtual mouse only supports two buttons, left and right. The middle button on a three
button mouse is not functional under vKVM. The middle button is by convention used for a
Paste operation in X Windows. Many applications implement Cut and Paste as menu operations
as well. Please look for Cut and Paste menu items in your applications to do cut and paste.
