How to Accesss ILO4 and Remote Console
by using SSH local port forward, From Office Workstation to Home SSH Server (Router), we can assess iLO4 and Remote Console in Office.
Linux:
#!/bin/sh
# Http proxy of Corp
HTTP_PROXY_HOST=OFFICE_PROXY_IP
HTTP_PROXY_PORT=OFFICE_PROXY_PROXY
# Home ssh server
SSH_HOST=HOME_WAN_IP
SSH_PORT=443
SSH_USER=xxxx
# Home ILO4 Host
REMOTE_ILO_HOST=HOME_ILO4_IP
REMOTE_ILO_PORT=”22 23 17990 80 443 17988 161 162 623″
# Office Workstation ILO4 IP
BIND_ILO_HOST=127.0.0.1
#BIND_ILO_HOST=192.168.127.8
#Generate proxy config file
ILO_SSH_PROXY_CONFIG=/tmp/ilo_ssh_config
echo “Host ${DDWRT_SSH_HOST}” > ${ILO_SSH_PROXY_CONFIG}
echo “ProxyCommand corkscrew ${HTTP_PROXY_HOST} ${HTTP_PROXY_PORT} %h %p” >> ${ILO_SSH_PROXY_CONFIG}
echo “port ${DDWRT_SSH_PORT}” >> ${ILO_SSH_PROXY_CONFIG}
echo “Host ${LINUX_SSH_HOST}” >> ${ILO_SSH_PROXY_CONFIG}
echo “ProxyCommand corkscrew ${HTTP_PROXY_HOST} ${HTTP_PROXY_PORT} %h %p” >> ${ILO_SSH_PROXY_CONFIG}
echo “port ${LINUX_SSH_PORT}” >> ${ILO_SSH_PROXY_CONFIG}
ILO_OPT_LIST=””
for p in ${REMOTE_ILO_PORT}; do
ILO_OPT_LIST=”${ILO_OPT_LIST} -L ${BIND_ILO_HOST}:${p}:${REMOTE_ILO_HOST}:${p}”
done
# Stop local services already bind to the local ILO4 Ports
sudo /etc/init.d/ssh stop
sudo /etc/init.d/lighttpd stop
# Setup SSH local forward link from Office to Home
echo “sudo ssh -N -f -F ${ILO_SSH_PROXY_CONFIG} ${ILO_OPT_LIST} ${SSH_USER}@${SSH_HOST}”
sudo ssh -N -f -F ${ILO_SSH_PROXY_CONFIG} ${ILO_OPT_LIST} ${SSH_USER}@${SSH_HOST}
SSH_PID=`pgrep -f “${ILO_OPT_LIST}”`
# Access the iLO4 via firefox browser
firefox https://${BIND_ILO_HOST}/
# Launch the Java remote console from iLO4
# cleanup, stop the ssh local forward
sudo kill -9 ${SSH_PID}
Windows 7:
Config putty iLO4 session as following:
Config Connection/Proxy/HTTP proxy
Config Connection/SSH/Tunnels, by add follow local port forwarding:
(BIND_ILO_HOST -> HOME_ILO4_IP)
22 23 17990 80 443 17988 161 162 623
Launch firefox, and goto https:// BIND_ILO_HOST => iLO4 Panel Access
Launch remote console/ .iNET.IRC from iLO4 panel
Note:
Note:
If the PC support Intel AMT technology, you may meet the error 10013 when try to forward 623 port,
because the port 623 have been taken by the LMS.exe service:
Solution: Disable the LMS service
Launch the terminal with admin permission, and run:
sc stop “UNS”
sc stop “LMS”
Or disable it forever:
sc config “UNS” start= disabled
sc config “LMS” start= disabled
