This chapter describes several ways to access the host console of an HP Integrity server.
Accessing a Text Host Console through iLO 2 Virtual Serial Console
Web browser access is an embedded feature of iLO 2.
Before starting this procedure, you must have the following information:
• DNS name for the iLO 2 MP LAN. This is found on the iLO Network Information Tag on
the server.
• Host name
To interact with iLO 2 through the web, follow these steps:
1. Open a web browser and enter the DNS name or the IP address for the iLO 2 MP.
2. Log in using your user account name and password at the login page. (Figure 6-1).

NOTE: The iLO 2 web interface session times out after five minutes if there is no activity.
If you open a remote console terminal window, the system remains open in the web interface
session until you sign out. Also, the web session does not timeout if vMedia is connected.
3. Click Sign In. The Status Summary page (Figure 6-2) appears after login.
