X2100 M2 & X2200 M2 ilom and Mac OS X's Java
For some reason OS X's Java will not run the remote KVM. It works fine on Windows, Linux and about any other platform I have tried, but I'm running 10.4.8 on a PPC (have tried several workstations) and when I first log in through the web interface (Safari, have tried Opera and Firefox too), I can see the minature console, but when I click the "Launch", it starts up, with the usual "trust" this and that...
Then the Virtual KVM pops up, but before I see the screen I get a small pop up that says "Connect to Remote Host Fail!", once I click "OK" it closes the whole KVM.
Anyone have any ideas?

I was told by Sun Tech support that the Remote Console was designed for IE and only works for for that. If it means anything to you, I gave the technician a hard time about it, but alas, he had nothing to do with its design and implementation and sympathized with me.
Grumble...

You know, it wouldn't irratate me so bad if it was a problem with Safari, but it's a problem with the JVM on the MAC.
It doesn't matter which broweser you use on Windows... Firefox, Opera, IE, they all work no problem. Same goes for any Solaris or Linux.
I think there is an issue with Apple being the ones responsible for maintaining the JVM for the MAC platform. I'm not sure whose fault that is.... ie: Did Sun say we aren't going to develop it for the MAC and Apple picked up the slack, or was it Apple saying... "We'll do this better"....
Regardless, I have downloaded even the latest JVM from the Apple developer site and it has the same problem. This is very irratating as we are an all MAC shop, and PowerPC based, so I have to load up a very SLOW Virtual PC just for an IE session to bring up the console.... Arghh!!!
If there are any updates, lemme know!

The ILOM Administrators Guide specifies versions of various browers and operating systems. Explicitly supported OSs are Windows XP, RedHat 3.x/4.x, Suse 9.2, Solaris 9/10. Explicitly supported browsers vary: IE 6.x+, Mozilla 1.7.5+, Firefox 1.0.
I've had various hassles getting it going on Linux, MacOS X is notably missing from official support list. :(
I've been thinking of trying to get it working on my MBP via Fink packages. Might work...
