* Console redirection using Java plug-in does not work on a Linux
management station. To work around this problem, do the following:
1. Save the JRE installer (jre-6u3-linux-i586-rpm.bin) in the

2. Extract the RPM and install JRE.

the information that is displayed.
4. Close the Web browser and try Console Redirection again.
