I needed to use iLO to remotely administer an HP DL360 G5, but the combination of modern Java and Windows 10 equaled no joy. A quick update from the top of my head:
- Update iLO to 2.25 via SSH (my browser(s) wouldnt upload the entire file. Instructions here, download iLO2 2.25 here. Be patient, this takes ~10 minutes
- Set Java security. Add site to exception site list under Security tab (I added the URLs in the format https://x.x.x.x/*, https://x.x.x.x:443/*)
- Under Advanced tab of Java disable “Use TLS 1.2” and “Use TLS 1.1”
- Under Advanced tab Check TLS Certificate Revocation Checks – Do not check (unsure if needed)
- Use Internet Explorer (IE 11 in Windows 10 worked)
- Login to iLO, Remote Console tab, Remote Console (Access the system KVM from a Java applet)
- The first time the pop up loads it errors with unable to load class something something something. Close this window
- Back in the main iLO window click back to System Status tab, then back to Remote Console tab and try again – Bingo!
