IDRAC6 Virtual Console Launcher
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)

Has anyone had any luck doing this with iDRAC 8? Even after downloading the relevant libraries and removing all disabled algorithms, I'm not having any luck. Output below:

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.

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.

@mduregon - It doesn't work for me on v6. It probably is only supported on v7-9 - of course they fail to mention this in that article..

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:

R730 runs iDrac8. Which supports HTML5. I recommend you use that instead of JAVA.

This should work for a long time to come. But there will be more fun when the SSL Cert expires in 2024.

which cert are you referring to? because my kvm stopped working recently (and it was working before)

granted I'm also using avocent which probably differs a bit than the dell version
