186 Using GUI Console Redirection
If I am running a
console redirection
session and a local
user accesses the
remote system, do I
receive a warning
message?
No. If a local user accesses the system, he/she can override
your actions with no warning.
How much
bandwidth do I need
to run a console
redirection session?
Dell recommends a 5 MB/sec connection for good
performance. A 1 MB/sec connection is required for
minimal performance.
What are the
minimum system
requirements for my
management station
to run console
redirection?
The management station requires an Intel Pentium III 500
MHz processor with at least 256 MB of RAM.
What are the
maximum number of
console redirection
sessions that I can run
on a remote system?
The DRAC 5 supports up to two simultaneous console
redirection sessions.
Why do I have mouse
synchronization
problems?
On Linux (Red Hat or Novell) systems, there are known
mouse arrow synchronization issues. To minimize mouse
synchronization problems, ensure that all users use the
default mouse settings.
