Some video applications, such as Microsoft® Media Player, will not display, or
will display incorrectly, in the Remote Console. This problem is most often seen
with applications that use video overlay registers. Typically, applications that
stream video use the video overlay registers. iLO is not intended for use with this
type of application.
The client screen resolution must be greater than the screen resolution of the
remote server.
The iLO Remote Console only supports the ATI Rage XL video chip that is
integrated in the system. The Remote Console functionality of iLO does not
work if you install a plug-in video card. All other iLO functionality is
available if you choose to use a plug-in video card.
Only one user at a time is allowed to access the Remote Console. Check to
see if another user is logged into iLO.
Telnet Displays Incorrectly in DOS®
When using the iLO Telnet session to display text screens involving a maximized
DOS® window, the telnet session is unable to represent anything except the
upper portion of the screen if the server screen is larger than 80x25.
To correct this adjust the DOS® windows properties to limit its size to 80x25,
before maximizing the DOS window.
On the title bar of the DOS® window, right-click the mouse and select
Properties and select Layout.
On the Layout tab, change the Screen Buffer Size height to 25.
