Accessing platcfg

To work with IPsec you need to use the Platform Configuration Utility, platcfg. Platcfg provides a user interface to the Platform Distribution, the core platform underlying the DSR.

Use the following task to access platcfg.

  1. Using ssh, open a terminal window to the iLO IP address of the management server.

    Contact your system administrator if you need assistance accessing the management server.

  2. Log into the iLO as Administrator.
  3. At the iLO command prompt, enter vsp to start the virtual serial port feature.
