Re: TIP: iLO remcons doesn't connect consistently



One thing to realize is that iLO is ON even if the server is powered off.
However, when you pull the power plug on the server, it will remove power to
iLO (obviously) and hence plugging it back in will, in effect, "reboot" the
iLO.

Also, iLO only allows a single REMCONS session at a time.  If you have one
session running, you won't be able to start another one until the first one
is closed.
