Sadly, it looks this iLO VSP is completely useless, because when I defined
com1, the hypervisor started *not* displaying anything on the physical
console or the virtual serial port. I tried this once and it made the
machine seem broken for a while, when all of the sudden fifteen minutes
later it happily showed the getty on ttyS1 on VSP.
I wonder if perhaps this was caused by some hypervisor console lock timeout
expiring, so I tried to change the setup a bit by removing that getty from
inittab. Then I rebooted it again, and the machine again became catatonic
for a while, but it didn't come back like the last time - it doesn't ping,
nothing is shown on physical console, and nothing is shown on VSP. :(
Maybe I'm missing something regarding the iLO VSP setup on this HP DL380...
