Opening virtual iLO remote console
The remote console is a terminal to manage a VM or vPar. This feature allows you to access the
guest directly. You do not have to run the hpvmconsole command to search for the host machine
and guest name. An IP address is assigned to each VM or vPar. You can use this unique IP address
and the host login credentials to directly access the guest without running any additional commands.
You can use the remote console when you want to access a specific VM or vPar. The login
credentials are the same as the credentials that are configured during the OS installation on the
VM or vPar.
You can configure the parameters for the virtual iLO remote console from the Modify menu. To
add a virtual iLO console or to modify the parameters of an existing virtual iLO console, select
Modify→Add/Modify Virtual iLO Remote Console... to open the Add/Modify Virtual iLO Remote
Console page. For more information, see the Add/Modify Virtual iLO Remote Console help topic.
NOTE: You can also configure remote console using the hpvm commands on the VMMgr CLI.
