Installation Manual

system commands to complete a graceful operating system shutdown before you attempt
to shut down by using the Virtual Power button.
• Press and Hold—The same as pressing the physical power button for 5 seconds and then
releasing it.
The server is powered off as a result of this operation. Using this option might circumvent
the graceful shutdown features of the operating system.
This option provides the ACPI functionality that some operating systems implement. These
operating systems behave differently depending on a short press or long press.
• Cold Boot—Immediately removes power from the server. Processors, memory, and I/O
resources lose main power. The server will restart after approximately 6 seconds. Using this
option circumvents the graceful shutdown features of the operating system.
• Reset—Forces the server to warm-boot: CPUs and I/O resources are reset. Using this option
circumvents the graceful shutdown features of the operating system.
NOTE: The Press and Hold, Reset, and Cold Boot options are not available when the server
is powered off.

Shared Remote Console (.NET IRC only)
Shared Remote Console allows the connection of multiple sessions on the same server. This
feature can be used for activities such as training and troubleshooting.
The first user to initiate a Remote Console session connects to the server normally and is
designated as the session leader. Any subsequent user who requests Remote Console access
initiates an access request for a satellite client connection. A dialog box for each access request
opens on the session leader desktop, identifying the requester user name and DNS name (if
available) or IP address. 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. 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.
