Using the text-based Remote Console

iLO supports a true text-based Remote Console. Video information is obtained from the server, and
the contents of the video memory are sent to the iLO management processor, compressed, encrypted,
and forwarded to the management client application. iLO uses a screen-frame buffer that sends
the characters (including screen positioning information) to text-based client applications. This
method ensures compatibility with standard text-based clients, good performance, and simplicity.
However, you cannot display non-ASCII or graphical information, and screen positioning information
(displayed characters) might be sent out of order.

iLO uses the video adapter DVO port to access video memory directly. This method increases iLO
performance significantly. However, the digital video stream does not contain useful text data.
This data cannot be rendered by a text-based client application such as SSH.

There are two text-based console options, as described in the following sections:

“Using the iLO Virtual Serial Port” (page 205)

“Using the Text-based Remote Console (Textcons)” (page 215)

Using the iLO Virtual Serial Port

You can access a text-based console from iLO using a standard license and the iLO Virtual Serial
Port.
