Preemption Warning

Normally, a user connected to a server console through the iKVM and another user connected to the same server console through the iDRAC Web interface console redirection feature both have access to the console and are able to type simultaneously.

To prevent this scenario, before starting the iDRAC Web interface console redirection, the remote user can disable the local console in the iDRAC Web interface. The local iKVM user sees an OSCAR message that the connection is preempted in a specified amount of time. The local user should finish using the console before the iKVM connection to the server is terminated.

There is no preemption feature available to the iKVM user.

NOTE If a remote iDRAC user has disabled the local video for a specific server, that server's video, keyboard and mouse is unavailable to the iKVM. The server state is marked with a yellow dot in the OSCAR menu to indicate that it is locked or unavailable for local use see Viewing Server Status.
