Reboot your gen8 and enter bios (F9).
If I remeber well you must disable BIOS serial console, because if you don’t do it, when you launch VSP you will see gen8’s bios console…
Select «BIOS serial console & EMS» >> «BIOS Serial console port» and disable it.
Now go to «System Options» >> «Serial Port Options» >> «Virtual Serial Port» >> I have enabled «COM1;IRQ4;3F8h-3FFh»
Now exit Bios utility and reboot.
Be sure to enable SSH access in iLO (Adrministration >> Access Setting)
Now open an SSH session to ilo ip
unknown:~ ema$ ssh 10.0.0.100 ema@10.0.0.100's password: User:ema logged-in to ILOXXXXXXXXXX.local(10.0.0.100 / XXXX::XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX) iLO Advanced 2.50 at Sep 23 2016 Server Name: gen8.lan Server Power: On </>hpiLO->
…and at ilo prompt you must launch VSP.
Now restart DSM and you can see serial output and prompt login…
</>hpiLO-> VSP
Virtual Serial Port Active: COM1
Starting virtual serial port.
Press 'ESC (' to return to the CLI Session.
