Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 9 Version 3.21.21.21 User's Guide

Configuring and using virtual console

You can use the virtual console to manage a remote system using the keyboard, video, and mouse on your management station to control the corresponding devices on a managed server. This is a licensed feature for rack and tower servers. It is available by default in blade servers.

The key features are:

  • A maximum of six simultaneous Virtual Console sessions are supported. All the sessions view the same managed server console simultaneously.
  • You can launch virtual console in a supported Web browser by using Java, ActiveX, or HTML5 plug-in.
    NOTE: By default, the virtual console type is set to HTML5.
  • When you open a Virtual Console session, the managed server does not indicate that the console has been redirected.
  • You can open multiple Virtual Console sessions from a single management station to one or more managed systems simultaneously.
  • You cannot open two virtual console sessions from the management station to the managed server using the same plug-in.
  • If a second user requests a Virtual Console session, the first user is notified and is given the option to refuse access, allow read-only access, or allow full shared access. The second user is notified that another user has control. The first user must respond within thirty seconds, or else access is granted to the second user based on the default setting. When two sessions are concurrently active, the first user sees a message in the upper-right corner of the screen that the second user has an active session. If neither the first or second user has administrator privileges, terminating the first user's session automatically terminates the second user's session.
NOTE: The number of active virtual-console sessions displayed in the web interface is only for active web-interface sessions. This number does not include sessions from other interfaces such as Telnet, SSH, and RACADM.
NOTE: For information about configuring your browser to access the virtual console, see Configuring web browsers to use virtual console.
