Connection sharing (HP IP Console Switches with Virtual Media only)
Connection sharing allows multiple users to interact with a server at the same time. When you are a
primary user, you can be notified by a dialog box that another user would like to share your connection.
You can click Yes to accept sharing, No to reject sharing, or Passive Share to allow the new user to
share without having any control over the connection.
When you attempt to open a video session with a server that is already being viewed by another user,
you are notified that the server is already being viewed. Depending on the configuration of sharing
settings, you can be offered the option to share or preempt the video session. You can also be offered the
option to open a stealth video session.
