This small script lets you start iLO Java-based console from shell.
- iLO 2/3 doesn't have HTML5 console
- Mounting local (from the client computer) ISOs is PAINFULLY slow via HTML5 client
If you just start it, it will ask you for everything:
| Use this as an example on how to start the virtual console without the need of Java Web Start or accessing it from the web interface. | |
| You can use the user and password that you use for the web interface. | |
| You need an old JRE... I used 1.7.0_80 from the Server JRE package, also I have tested successfully 1.7.0_79 with MacOS. | |
| You don't need to install it, just extract it or copy the files in "jre" folder. | |
| Open the viewer.jnlp file that you get by launching the virtual console from the web interface with a text editor. | |
| Note the urls to the jar files. Download the main jar file avctKVM.jar and the libs for your operating system and architecture. | |
| Extract the dlls (.so Linux, .jnilib MacOS) from the jar libs. |
