178 Using GUI Console Redirection
I am still having issues with mouse synchronization.
Ensure that the target system’s desktop is centered in the console redirection
window.
1
In the vKVM toolbar, click Tools and select Manual Video Adjustment .
2 Adjust the horizontal and vertical controls as needed to align the desktop
in the console redirection window.
3 Click Close .
4 Move the target system’s mouse cursor to the top left corner of the console
redirection window, and then move the cursor back to the center of the
window.
5 Repeat step 2 through step 4 until both cursors are synchronized.
Why doesn’t the vKVM mouse and keyboard work when changing mouse
acceleration for different operating systems?
The USB vKVM keyboard and mouse are inactive from 5 to 10 seconds after
changing the mouse acceleration. The network load can sometimes cause this
operation to take longer than normal (more than 10 seconds).
Why can't I see the bottom of the server screen from the vKVM window?
Ensure that the server screen resolution is 1280 x 1024 pixels at 60 Hz with
128 colors.
Why can't I use a keyboard or mouse while installing a Microsoft operating
system remotely by using DRAC5 Console Redirection?
When you remotely install a supported Microsoft operating system on a
system with Console Redirection enabled in the BIOS, you receive an EMS
Connection Message that requires you to select OK before you can continue.
You cannot use the mouse to select OK remotely. You must either select OK
on the local system or restart the remotely managed system, reinstall, and
then turn Console Redirection Off in the BIOS.
This message is generated by Microsoft to alert the user that Console
Redirection is enabled. To ensure that this message does not appear, always
turn off Console Redirection in the BIOS before installing an operating
system remotely.
