Marc, The SMASH interface provides a method of resetting all of iLO, which I have mentioned before, but there is no way to reset the web interface independently.

Unfortunately, so far, the only issue with iLO that has forced me to physically power the machine down, I don't know what I did, or how to recreate it ... *somehow* I got the ssh interface to a state where when you logged in, the iLO prompt would continuously scroll up the screen, and not let you type in anything ... I couldn't find a means to 'reset iLO' from within the web interface, which still did work, and, of course, couldn't do the reset from the ssh interface ... >> Finally found an iLO manual on my Documentation CD ... all 197 pages of it >> ... just printed it off (prefer reading paper over PDF), and *wow* ... >> this thing does alot ... but, so far, I haven't found a way to 'reset the >> web interface' ... does anyone know how to do so? > > > Marc, The SMASH interface provides a method of resetting all of iLO, which > I have mentioned before, but there is no way to reset the web interface > independently. Actually, finally found the docs for iLO on my HP CDs, printed it out and have been *slowly* trying to get through all 197 pages of it *shiver* ... resetting iLO did fix the web interface issue ... Stupid question ... is there a reason against resetting iLO? Are there some sort of stats that iLO maintains that gets lost on a reset? ---- Marc G.
