Using GUI Console Redirection 175
The status is displayed on the Console Redirection Configuration page of
the DRAC 5 web-based interface. The racadm CLI command racadm
getconfig –g cfgRacTuning displays the status in the object
cfgRacTuneLocalServerVideo. The status is also seen by the local user on the
server LCD screen as “Video OFF” or as “Video OFF in 15”.
Why is it that sometimes I do not see the “Video OFF” or “Video OFF in
15” status on the server LCD screen?
The local video status is a low-priority message and will get masked if a high
priority server event has occurred. The LCD messages are based on priority;
you must resolve any high-priority LCD messages and once that event is
cleared or resolved, the next low priority message is displayed. The server
video message on the LCD screen is informational in nature.
Where can I get more information on the Local Server Video feature?
See the Dell Support website at support.dell.com/manuals for a white paper
discussing this feature.
I see video corruption on my screen. How do I fix this issue?
In the Console Redirection window, click Refresh to refresh the screen.
NOTE: You may need to click Refresh several times to correct the video corruption.
During Console Redirection, the keyboard and mouse are locked after
hibernation on a Windows 2000 system. What caused this to happen?
To resolve this issue, reset the DRAC 5 by running the racadm racreset
command.
I cannot see the bottom of the system screen from the Console Redirection
window.
Ensure that the management station’s monitor resolution is set to
1280x1024.
During Console Redirection, the mouse is locked after hibernation on a
Windows Server 2003 system. Why did this happen?
To resolve this issue, select an operating system other than Windows for
mouse acceleration from the virtual KVM (vKVM) window pull-down menu,
wait 5 to 10 seconds, and then select Windows again. If the problem is not
resolved, you must reset the DRAC 5 by running the racadm racreset
command.
