Users Guide
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.

Setting Console Security
OSCAR enables you to configure security settings on the iKVM console. You can setup a screen saver
mode that engages after the console remains unused for a specified delay time. Once engaged, the
console remains locked until you press any key or move the mouse. Enter the screen saver password to
continue.
Use the Security dialog box to lock the console with a password, set or change the password, or enable
the screen saver.
NOTE: If the iKVM password is lost or forgotten, you can reset it to the iKVM factory default using
the CMC Web interface or RACADM.
