SUN X2100 M2 remote console, argh!
October 22nd, 2006 by rutger
This nifty remote console applet that is supplied with the X2100M2 server is a pain in the a**! First of all, it doesn’t alway run. When you uncleanly exit the app you need to restart the service processor (ILO) to get a working console again. Secondly, although it is claimed that it should run on any clear browser with a good JRE it doesn’t run on my Mac using Safari and SUN’s JDK. And as a last brainbreaker, it offers Virtual CDROM support but no Virtual Floppy support which means that remote installs of Windows (*ugh*) are not possible unless you hack the install CD using nLite or something…
If only they could have used the Service Processor from the X4100 which works like a charm! argh…
