[VHRISO] screen resolution issue when having physical screen connected during installation via remote console

MOD: split from post532222.html#p532222

Hello

Just installed veeam hardened repository iso 0.1.17
Hardware = HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10
RAID controller = HPE Smart Array P408i-a SR Gen10

Problem and notes:

1. ping
There is no built in option to troubleshoot networking
Please add such feature (similar to esxi console) to troubleshoot ip and dns.
for example ping the following:
default gateway
configured dns servers
dns resolve update repository (using dig/nslookup)
ping (or test http) to updated repository

I also recommend to add option for enabling incoming PING, at least temporary, similar to SSH option.


2. screen resolution

I've used ILO console while a 23 inch screen was also attached. this caused the screen resolution to be very high, and was no easy way to change it.
Especialy while trying to read the terrible onetime ssh credentials.
I ended up disconnnecting the physical screen, and reinstall from scratch.
This time screen resolution was 1024*768 which is ok and readable.

Please add option to change screen resolution or other display settings after install, or option to reset to reasonable default such as 1024*768.

Hello,
thanks for reporting that the DL360 works, I added it to the list in the initial post.

1) yes, that is something I have on my list and I added you +1. Incoming ping will be allowed in version 2.

2) hmm, I installed it on different machines with different remote consoles, but never had a resolution issue. Just to be clear: the resolution problem is after the system was installed and not during the installation, right?

Best regards
Hannes

Yes, resolution problem was after system installed. i ended reinstalling without the external screen to solve it.
