Video replays of previous server Reset Sequences

The Reset Sequences option on the Remote Console tab provides video replay of server reset
sequences. This option allows you to observe ROM-based POST messages and operating system load
messages of previous host server resets, including any error messages displayed by the operating system
before a server stops.

IMPORTANT: The reset sequences option requires the use of the Remote Console. You cannot access the

Remote Console while replaying the reset sequences. A user cannot use Remote Console if another user is
on one of the selected replay sequence pages. Only one user is permitted access to Remote Console at a
time. If another user is viewing one of the previous, current, or failed sequence pages, you will receive the
following message:

"Another user is accessing the Remote Console feature of the

RILOE II. Only one user is permitted access at a time. Remote Console will
automatically start when Remote Console becomes available."

To access video replays of the host server reset sequences:

1.

Click Reset Sequences on the Remote Console tab.

2.

Select the desired sequence replay from the following options:

Previous Reset Sequence Replay—This option allows you to replay the video sequence
prior to the most recent host server reset. The video replay displays ROM-based messages and
operating system load messages that occurred while starting the remote host server.

Current Reset Sequence Replay—This option allows you to replay the video sequence of
the most recent host server reset. The video replay displays ROM-based messages and operating
system load messages that occurred while starting the remote host server.

Failure Sequence Replay—This option lets you replay the video sequence leading up to the
most recent host server reset resulting from a system problem. This video replay includes any
error information generated by the operating system prior to the host server problem and
subsequent reset.

Windows® EMS console

A feature of Windows® Server 2003 is the EMS. The typical usage model for the EMS console is to
physically connect a serial cable to the server. RILOE II, however, enables you to use EMS over the
network through a Web browser. Microsoft® EMS gives you the ability to display running processes,
change the priority of processes, and halt processes. The EMS console and the RILOE II Remote Console
can be used at the same time.
