Accessing the Host Console
This section describes the different ways to access the host console of the server.
Accessing the Host Console With the TUI - CO Command
This section describes 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 + and press Enter.
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.
Before starting this procedure, you must have the following information:
• DNS name for the iLO MP LAN
• Host name (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 DNS name for the iLO MP. The iLO MP login page opens.
