IDRAC6 Virtual Console Launcher
Raw
README
Use this as an example on how to start the virtual console without the need of Java Web Start or accessing it from the web interface.
You can use the user and password that you use for the web interface.
You need an old JRE... I used 1.7.0_80 from the Server JRE package, also I have tested successfully 1.7.0_79 with MacOS.
You don't need to install it, just extract it or copy the files in "jre" folder.
Open the viewer.jnlp file that you get by launching the virtual console from the web interface with a text editor.
Note the urls to the jar files. Download the main jar file avctKVM.jar and the libs for your operating system and architecture.
Extract the dlls (.so Linux, .jnilib MacOS) from the jar libs.
If you don't see the MacOS libs in the file make sure you download it from MacOS.
Edit the bat/sh file according to your needs.
The file structure should look like this:
start-virtual-console.bat (.sh if Linux/MacOS)
avctKVM.jar
jre/<jre home here>
lib/avctKVMIO.dll (.so if Linux, .jnilib if MacOS)
lib/avmWinLib.dll (.so if Linux, .jnilib if MacOS)

I tried many different combinations, java versions, etc., and finally discovered that iDRAC 6 is compatible with IE v8 on Win 7 SP1. I downloaded Win 7 SP1 and installed it on a virtual machine. It installs its ActiveX to IE 8 on the first run. Then I put the website on trusted sites. and voila!

For those non java-savvy of us that are reading this and stumped on the Virtual Media/Keyboard capture errors above, you're missing a step;

After downloading avctKVMIOMac64.jar & avctVMMac64.jar from the iDRAC service, unzip them and move to the lib folder. Jar files are just glorified Zips, the real lib treasure is inside

unzip -d avctKVMIOMac64 avctKVMIOMac64.jar
unzip -d avctVMMac64 avctVMMac64.jar
mkdir lib
cp avctKVMIOMac64/libavctKVMIO.jnilib ./lib/
cp avctVMMac64/libavmMac.jnilib ./lib/

Does anyone have this running with the separate Java version so I do not need to modify my Java Config? Ifso can you please share the working files as the things in this thread do not seem to work properly at the time im posting this or if anyone is willing to help me diagnose the issue that is more familiar with Java that would be amazing.

I have 20 Servers we have running IDRAC6 and would like to be able to use the feature but DO NOT want to run a unsecured install of Java if we can start a portable version for this.

Hi, I'm currently using a docker container version which is maintained, and seems to work very well without having to change any java versions manually - it is a "portable version" but dockerised

I was able to connect doing this (iDRAC 6 Enterprise):

Here's how my directory ended:

Directory.png

Then I'm using this PowerShell script:

Set-Location -Path C:\idrac
$ServerHost = Read-Host "Type the name of the host that you want to connect to"
$HostPassword = Read-Host "Type the password of the host that you want to connect to"
Write-Host "nDownloading files..." wget.exe -N --no-check-certificate "https://$ServerHost/software/avctKVM.jar" -q wget.exe -N --no-check-certificate "https://$ServerHost/software/avctVMWin64.jar" -P lib -q wget.exe -N --no-check-certificate "https://$ServerHost/software/avctKVMIOWin64.jar" -P lib -q Write-Host "nExpanding files to initiate connection..."

Remove-Item .\lib*.dll
Remove-Item .\avctKVM.jar

It worked without modifying my PC java.security file.

The only problems until now is that I didn't find a way to pass the password using PowerShell in a secure way (I have tried the -AsSecureString), so for now the password is in plain text... =/ And I have tried to use this code to download the files:

Invoke-WebRequest https://$ServerHost/software/avctKVM.jar -OutFile .\avctKVM.jar

But sometimes worked, sometimes don't, I think that I need to initiate the connection first... Meanwhile I'm using wget as other users commented previously.

Anyway, thanks a lot for your time to help a lot of people!!!

JAN 29 2023 / WINDOWS 10: Took your script and made changes to get it to work on my PC.

  • Downloaded the same JRE you mentioned first from Oracle website

Thank you for this!! I was able to do the same for my Linux running Debian 11.

I unzipped the two files:

avctKVMIOLinux64.jar
avctVMLinux64.jar

Then I copied the two extracted files over to jdk1.7.0_80_x64/lib folder:

libavctKVMIO.so
libavmlinux.so

Boom it worked!

From what I see:

  1. An error with windows registry. Not sure if this is hindering java functioning, though.

  2. Protocol issue?
    Supported protocols: [SSLv2Hello, SSLv3, TLSv1, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2]
    Enabled protocols: [SSLv3, TLSv1]
    IIRC, idrac 8 needs TLSv1.1 enabled. I could be wrong about that.

@bmatthewshea

Looks like tls1.2 is being used. I couldn't see how to enable tls1.2 in java 1.7, so I brought in OpenJRE 8, and I got in.

Thanks for the insight, I completely missed this in the log.

The jar starts and sets some variables, but then says connection failed for the session state.

Update: Adding a idrac.java.security as described above did the trick, guess just removing TLS1 from disabled isn't enough

I'm using the original method in post #1 and it is working with IDRAC 6 on a Power Edge T610

However, the virtual console goes black during resolution changes, and does not adjust itself. This happens when going from the boot screen to bios settings, or between boot screen and windows.

Here's an example of the windows cli when this happens:
