Managing Servers With iKVM

The iKVM is an analog switch matrix supporting up to 16 servers. The iKVM switch uses the OSCAR user interface to select and

congure the servers. In addition, the iKVM includes a system input to establish a CMC command line console connection to CMC.

If you have an active console redirection session and a lower resolution monitor is connected to the iKVM, the server console

resolution may reset if the server is selected on the local console. If the server is running a Linux operating system, an X11 console

may not be viewable on the local monitor. Pressing <Ctrl><Alt><F1> at the iKVM switches Linux to a text console.
