Console Capture (.NET IRC only)
Console Capture allows you to record and play back video streams of events such as startup, and
sensed operating system faults. iLO automatically captures the Server Startup and Server
Prefailure sequences. You can manually start and stop the recording of console video.
• Console Capture is supported with the .NET IRC; it is not supported with the Java IRC.
• Console Capture is available only through the .NET IRC. It cannot be accessed through the
CLP.
• The Server Startup and Server Prefailure sequences are not captured automatically during
firmware updates or while the Remote Console is in use.
• Server Startup and Server Prefailure sequences are saved automatically in iLO memory. They
will be lost during firmware updates, iLO reset, and power loss. You can save the captured
video to your local drive by using the .NET IRC.
• The Server Startup file starts capturing when server startup is detected, and stops when it
runs out of space. This file is overwritten each time the server starts.
• The Console Capture control buttons are on the bottom of the .NET IRC session window.
The following controls are available:
◦ Skip to Start—Restarts playback from the beginning of the file.
◦ Pause—Pauses the playback.
◦ Play—Starts playback if the currently selected file is not playing or is paused.
◦ Record—Records your .NET IRC session.
◦ Progress Bar—Shows the progress of the video session.
Move the cursor over the controls to identify each button.
