Using the iKVM Module 295

Viewing and Selecting Servers

Use the OSCAR Main dialog box to view, configure, and manage servers

through the iKVM. You can view your servers by name or by slot. The slot

number is the chassis slot number the server occupies. The Slot column

indicates the slot number in which a server is installed.

NOTE: The Dell CMC command line occupies Slot 17. Selecting this slot displays

the CMC command line, where you can execute RACADM commands or connect to

the serial console of server or I/O modules.

NOTE: Server names and slot numbers are assigned by the CMC.

To access the Main dialog box:

Press <Print Screen> to launch the OSCAR interface. The

Main dialog box

If a password has been assigned, the Password dialog box appears. Type your

password and click OK. The

Main dialog box appears.

For more information about setting a password, see "Setting Console

Security."

NOTE: There are four options for invoking OSCAR. You can enable one, multiple, or

all of these key sequences by selecting boxes in the Invoke OSCAR section of the

Main dialog box and then clicking OK.
