Accessing the Host Console With the TUI - CO Command

This section provides the steps to access the host console using the text user interface (TUI).

To access the host console through the iLO MP, follow these steps:

Step 1. Log in using your user account name and password at the login page.

Step 2. At the iLO MP login prompt (MP>), enter the CO command to switch the console terminal from the

MP Main Menu to mirrored/redirected console mode. All mirrored data is displayed.

Step 3. To return to the iLO MP command interface, type

Ctrl-B, or Esc and +.

Interacting with the iLO MP Using the Web GUI

Web browser access is an embedded feature of the iLO MP.

The iLO MP has a separate LAN port from the system LAN port. It requires a separate LAN drop, IP address,

and networking information from that of the port used by the operating system.

IMPORTANT Make sure you use the MAC address to the iLO MP LAN and not the MAC address to the

server core LAN.

Before starting this procedure, you must have the following information:

• IP address for the iLO MP LAN

• Host name (this is used when messages are logged or printed)

To interact with the iLO MP through the Web GUI, follow these steps:

Step 1. Open a Web browser and enter the host name or the IP address for the iLO MP.

Step 2. Log in using your user account name and password at the login page. (Figure 8-1).
