The session leader can grant or deny access. If there is no response, permission is denied
automatically.

Shared Remote Console does not support passing the session leader designation to another user,
or reconnecting a user after a failure. You must restart the Remote Console session to allow user
access after a failure.

During a Shared Remote Console session, the session leader has access to all Remote Console
features, whereas all other users can access only the keyboard and mouse. Satellite clients cannot
control Virtual Power or Virtual Media.

iLO encrypts Shared Remote Console sessions by authenticating the client first, and then the session
leader determines whether to allow new connections.

To join a Shared Remote Console session:
1.

Navigate to the Remote Console

→Remote Console page.

2.

Click Launch to start the .NET IRC.

A message notifies you that the .NET IRC is already in use, as shown in

Figure 63 (page 120)

.

Figure 63 Remote Console Busy dialog box

3.

Click Share.

A message notifies the session leader that you are requesting to join the .NET IRC session, as
shown in

Figure 64 (page 120)

.

If the session leader clicks Yes, you are granted access to the .NET IRC session with access
to the keyboard and mouse.

Using Console Capture (.NET IRC only)

Console Capture allows you to record and play back video streams of events such as startup, ASR
events, and sensed operating system faults. The Server Startup and Server Prefailure sequences
are captured automatically by iLO. You can manually start and stop the recording of console video.

This feature and many others are part of an iLO licensing package. For more information about
iLO licensing, see the following website:

http://www.hp.com/go/ilo/licensing

.

When you are using Console Capture, note the following:

Console Capture is supported with the .NET IRC; it is not supported with the Java IRC.

Console Capture is available only through the .NET IRC. It cannot be accessed through XML
scripting or the CLP.

The Server Startup and Server Prefailure sequences are not captured automatically during
firmware upgrades or while the Remote Console is in use.
