TIP: iLO remcons doesn't connect consistently

[Marc G. Fournier]

Just to document this, in case others hit the situation ...

The one 'issue' that I've had so far with the new DL360 G4p was that when 
I tried to enabled 'remcons' from an ssh connection into iLO, it wouldn't 
always give me a console ... if I unplugged the server from the wall, and 
re-plugged it in and tried then, it worked fine .. if I unplugged it yet 
again and plugged it back in again, it *might* work, it might now ...

After some searching, I found something that *sounded* similar on HPs 
forums, where the suggested fix was to go through the web interface, under 
Network Settings, and make sure you disable the WINS stuff ...

*So* far, each time I've unplugged/plugged it back in again, I've been 
able to successfully get a remcons through iLO ... going to try it a few 
more times before I ship it out, but *so far* things seem to be good ...
