172 Using GUI Console Redirection
Opening a Console Redirection Session
When you open a console redirection session, the Dell Virtual KVM Viewer
Application starts and the remote system's desktop appears in the viewer.
Using the Virtual KVM Viewer Application, you can control the system's
mouse and keyboard functions from a local or remote management station.
To open a console redirection session, perform the following steps:
1
On your management station, open a supported Web browser and log into
the DRAC 5. See "Accessing the Web-Based Interface" on page 91 for
more information.
2 In the System tree, click System and then in the Console tab, click
Console Redirect .
NOTE: If you receive a security warning prompting you to install and run the
Console Redirection plug-in, verify the plug-in’s authenticity and then click Yes to
install and run the plug-in. If you are running Firefox, restart the browser and then
go to step 1.
3 In the Console Redirection page, use the information in Figure 7-4 to
ensure that a console redirection session is available.
