Solved!
Go to SolutionProgramatically connect to iDrac Virtual Console?
Is there a way to connect to the iDrac Virtual Console via a racadm command? or directly by navigating to a url? Or some other way?
I connect to the Virtual Console frequently on a bunch of different servers and just want to speed up the process. Having to log into the web interface and connecting that way is just too slow.
Would be nice if I can just run a racadm or navigate to a bookmarked url to initiate the connection.

Hi,
Is it possible to open an iDrac virtual console using PowerShell or other scripting methods? Credentials are to be supplied! In Windows e.g. you can open a virtual console of a VM by a simple command. Example: &"C:\windows\system32\vmconnect.exe" local host vmname. I hope a similar method is available for the iDrac.

Could Dell provide one similar solution like HPE iLO:
How to access HP’s ILO remote console via SSH – Keeran's Blog (marquis.co)
The user can ssh to iDRAC IP address and then type one racadm subcommand like 'textcons' to connect to the KVM virtual console. such feature would help a lot to connect to the virtual console programatically with PowerShell Posh-SSH.

racadm prefix is not required. You can type "console com2" in SSH prompt to get serial redirection. What iDRAC FW you have on the server?

Hello
I'm not aware of a method to perform a direct console connection. OpenManage Essentials has an option to launch a virtual console, but you are still prompted to log into the iDRAC first. The console is less secure than the web server connection, so it can only be launched from an authenticated web server connection. If a direct console connection were possible it would be a security risk.
Thanks
