HPE iLO 5 + Veeam Appliance keyboard issue (Enter/Ctrl+X not working)

Hi everyone,

I'm running into a strange issue with a Veeam Backup & Replication Appliance v13.0.2.29 on a physical HPE Gen10 server with iLO 5 (firmware 3.13).

The appliance boots normally and displays the Veeam Host Management screen, but I can't access the network configuration because the keyboard input doesn't seem to work correctly.
ENTER to change the network config!

What I've tried:

  • HTML5 Remote Console
  • Java Integrated Remote Console (v252)
  • Different browsers
  • Hotkey programming
  • Ctrl+X
  • Ctrl+Shift+X
  • Fn combinations
  • Java updated to the latest version

The problem is that Enter does not activate the "Sign in" button, so I can't get into the Host Management menu to change the appliance IP address. The appliance currently has an incorrect IP configured, so I can't access the web interface or SSH.

The server is in a remote datacenter, so connecting a physical keyboard isn't an easy option.

Has anyone experienced this with the Veeam Appliance or iLO 5?

  • Is there a known workaround to get Enter/Ctrl+X working in the remote console?
  • Is there another supported way to change the appliance network configuration without accessing the TUI?
  • Has anyone seen this specific issue with the Java or HTML5 iLO console?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
