Access HP's ILO remote console via SSH

It happened many times to need a quick access to the remote console of a server like HP's ILO and not be able to open a web browser just to access it.
So let access it via SSH. Here goes.

[codesyntax lang="bash"]

ssh ilo_admin@ip_address

[/codesyntax]

2. Enter your ILO admin account and password. After that you will see the ILO prompt.

hpILO->

3. To access the remote console of the server at the ILO prompt type "TEXTCONS"

hpILO->TEXTCONS

4. You will be presented with the Login: console. Enter your root or user account of the server to gain access.

Login:

Voilà!
