Dear all

This is the first time, I have setup conserver. I am trying to connect the
ILO's using conserver. When I tried to connect, I am unable to see the
login screen of the server, instead it goes to the ILO prompt. Please
advise,what is wrong here.

console server1
[Enter `^Ec?' for help]

[initializing -- use ^E c ? for help]
[initializing -- use ^E c ? for help]
[initializing -- use ^E c ? for help]
user@server1 password: [initializing -- use ^E c ? for help]
[initializing -- use ^E c ? for help]
[initializing -- use ^E c ? for help]

Permission denied, please try again.
user@server1-ilo's password:
User:user1 logged-in to server1-ilo.(10.75.221.14)
iLO 2 Advanced 2.15 at 14:50:37 Jan 17 2013
Server Name: server1
Server Power: On

</>hpiLO->

>From conserver.cf

default ilo-ssh-vsp {
type exec;
execsubst H=cs;
exec ssh -o ConnectionAttempts=15 \\
-o ServerAliveInterval=15 \\
-i /home/rscadmin/.ssh/id_rsa user1@H;
initcmd "/usr/local/etc/ilo-startvsp";
logfilemax 4m;
timestamp 10l;
}

console server1-ilo { include ilo-ssh-vsp; host x.x.x.14; aliases server1;}
console server2-ilo { include ilo-ssh-vsp; host x.x.x.15; aliases server2; }

Thanks for help, Sorry I didn't put it clear. I can type vsp to get into
vsp. But I used an automated script to get into VSP, this is what it is.

set send_slow {1 0.02}

expect "</>hpiLO->"
sleep 5

send -s "start /system1/oemhp_vsp1"
sleep 1

send "\r"

exit 0

And I have included a line to run this script when we connect. it is called
via initcmd.

default ilo-ssh-vsp {
type exec;
execsubst H=cs;
exec ssh -o ConnectionAttempts=15 \\
-o ServerAliveInterval=15 \\
-i /home/rscadmin/.ssh/id_dsa rscadmin@H;
initcmd "/usr/local/etc/ilo-startvsp";
logfilemax 4m;
timestamp 10l;
}

unfortunately, it doesn't work.

I don't have useful experience with HP LOM interfaces, but some others (SUN as one vendor example) default to the LOM login when you reboot the machine. You need to log into the service coprocessor, and then invoke the console session, in order to talk to the TTY on the machine.

I'm not sure if this is similar with the HP coprocessor. Maybe you can log in once and be good... Maybe the HP has a service time-out (inactivity timer) which is closing the TTY session (and maybe the timer can be defeated)... Or maybe this is a red herring. I just wanted you to know that the email list is working. :-)

If you are connecting a laptop (or other debugging device) to the HP, can you leave it in the TTY mode? If you disconnect the laptop and reconnect it, is it still in the TTY mode? (Maybe you have a hardware handshake issue, where DTR is toggling a port reset.)
