Access Windows OS remotely through iLO to HP blade server

Hi Experts,

Can I access Windows 2008 server which was installed on HP blade server remotely via iLo similar to RDP ? I know Onboard Administrator IP for blade system and iLo ip on each blade.
It looks like Win 2008 installed on the top of VMware ESX.

If yes, please let me know how to do it. Also please let me know how to access Win 2008 on the console of Blade system directly and physically.

Thank you so much in advance.

If Windows is installed directly on the blade then yes, via Advanced ILO License. If it is installed on the ESX host then you cannot access via ILO, you will need to use the VMWare Client from a different system

Thank you, hanccocka.

May I know how to find out VM server IP from VM client? Is the VM server IP same as the ESX server IP? I looked into Network Adapter tab and only see a pool of IPs. May I know how ESX server to assign IP to its VM OS?

Thanks

ESX Server does not assign the IP address. When you login to the ESX host and access the VM you assign an IP to a virtual network card as you would to a physical network card. If you have access to the ESX host via VI Client you may be able to click on the VM itsellf and "Summary" If VMware tools is installed it will list the IP address of the VM
