Using GUI Console Redirection 169
Why doesn’t the Num Lock indicator on my management station reflect the
status of the Num Lock on the remote server?
When accessed through the DRAC 5, the Num Lock indicator on the
management station does not necessarily coincide with the state of the Num
Lock on the remote server. The state of the Num Lock is dependent on the
setting on the remote server when the remote session is connected, regardless
of the state of the Num Lock on the management station.
Why do multiple Session Viewer windows appear when I establish a console
redirection session?
You are configuring a console redirection session to the local system.
Reconfigure the session to a remote system.
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
without sending a 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.
