11.7 Using the virtual iLO Remote Console
The vPars and Integrity VM virtual iLO Remote Console feature allows you access to the guest
console by logging into a specific IP address. You can assign each guest a virtual iLO Remote
Console IP Address with which the end user can connect using either telnet or Secure Shell (SSH).
After login authentication, the guest console is immediately available. The user no longer needs
to know the VSP machine IP address or guest name. They need to know only the virtual iLO Remote
Console IP Address. The virtual iLO Remote Console IP stays the same even after an Online VM
Migration. There is also no need to manually run any command, like the hpvmconsole command.
The following section describes:
• Configuring a virtual iLO Remote Console
• Choosing the virtual iLO Remote Console IP address
• Deleting a virtual iLO Remote Console
• Getting the virtual iLO Remote Console settings of a guest
11.7.1 Configuring, deleting, and obtaining status of a virtual iLO Remote Console
You can assign a virtual iLO Remote Console IP Address when you create, modify, or clone a
guest, using the hpvmcreate, hpvmmodify, or hpvmclone commands:
