Troubleshooting SSH issues
The following sections discuss troubleshooting SSH issues.
Initial PuTTY input slow
During the initial connection to iLO through a PuTTY client, input is accepted slowly for approximately
5 seconds.
Solution: Change the configuration options in the client. Clear the Disable Nagle's algorithm check
box in the low-level TCP connection options.
PuTTY client unresponsive
When you are using a PuTTY client with the Shared Network Port, the PuTTY session might become
unresponsive when a large amount of data is transferred or when you are using a Virtual Serial
Port and Remote Console.
Solution: Close the PuTTY client and restart the session.
SSH text support from text-based Remote Console session
SSH access from the text-based Remote Console supports the standard 80 x 25 configuration of
the text screen. This mode is compatible for the text-based Remote Console for most text-mode
interfaces. Extended text configuration beyond the 80 x 25 configuration is not displayed correctly
when using SSH. HP recommends configuring the text application in 80 x 25 mode or using the
graphical Remote Console.
Troubleshooting video and monitor issues
The client screen resolution must be greater than the screen resolution of the remote server.
User interface does not display correctly
On ProLiant servers using Red Hat EL 4.0 and some other Linux systems and iLO 3, the text on the
buttons of the user interface might be cut off along the bottom of the button. This error occurs
because Mozilla Firefox does not display the text size that iLO 3 specifies for the buttons.
Solution: To display the text correctly, select View>Text Size>Decrease until the text appears
correctly.
iLO Virtual Floppy media applet unresponsive
The iLO Virtual Floppy media applet can become unresponsive if the physical floppy diskette
contains media errors.
Solution: To prevent the iLO Virtual Floppy media applet from becoming unresponsive, run a utility
such as CHKDSK.EXE to check the physical floppy disk media for errors. If the physical media
contains errors, load the floppy disk image onto a new physical floppy diskette.
Troubleshooting text-based Remote Console issues
The following sections discuss items to be aware of when attempting to resolve text-based Remote
Console issues.
Unable to view Linux installer in text-based Remote Console
When installing Linux from the text console, the initial installation screen might not appear because
the screen is in graphics mode.
Solution: To correct this and proceed with the installation, do one of the following:
•
For most versions of Linux, enter linux text nofb.
The characters that you enter do not appear.
