Appliance maintenance console
The appliance maintenance console is an important tool for troubleshooting appliance issues when the HPE OneView UI is not available.
The appliance maintenance console, shown in the example, provides a limited set of administrative commands that might be required when you cannot access the web user interface (UI) of the appliance.
In the upper left of most appliance maintenance console screens, the local appliance is identified by its host name.
The appliance maintenance console displays an icon and a message about the state of the appliance indicating few actions such as:
Normal operation.
Appliance is offline.
Appliance is being updated.
Appliance is starting up, shutting down, restarting, or temporarily unavailable.
Appliance is being restored from a backup file.
Appliance is being reset to factory default settings.
Commands
To view the appliance details.
To restart the local appliance.
To shut down the appliance.
To reset the administrator password.
To perform a factory reset of the appliance.
To launch a service console, which an authorized technical support representative can use to diagnose or repair a problem.
To configure appliance networking.
To log out of the Maintenance console.
The commands displayed by the appliance maintenance console depend on the current state of the appliance and how the appliance maintenance console was accessed.
Navigation
Use the tab and arrow keys to navigate within the appliance maintenance console screen.
Commands are displayed with corresponding hot keys. These keys are shown within brackets in Example of the appliance maintenance console main menu screen. Pressing a hot key selects the command.
You can use the Enter key to invoke a selection. That is, after you make a selection, pressing Enter runs the command.
