Using GUI Virtual Console 237
Why do multiple Session Viewer
windows appear when I establish a
Virtual Console session from the local
host?
You are configuring a Virtual Console
session from the local system. This is not
supported.
If I am running a Virtual Console
session and a local user accesses the
managed server, do I receive a warning
message?
No. If a local user accesses the system, you
both have control of the system.
How much bandwidth do I need to run
a Virtual Console session?
It is recommended that you use 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 Virtual Console?
The management station requires an Intel
Pentium III 500 MHz processor with at least
256 MB of RAM.
After launching the Virtual Console, I
can only use the mouse on the Virtual
Console and not on my local system.
Why does this happen and what
should I do to use the mouse on the
Virtual Console and my local system?
This happens if the Mouse Mode is set to
USC/Diags. Press <Alt><M> hot key to
use the mouse on your local system. Press
<Alt><M> again to use the mouse on the
Virtual Console.
When I launch both the GUI and
Virtual Console to iDRAC from the
CMC Web interface, why does my
GUI session timeout?
When launching the Virtual Console to
iDRAC from the CMC Web interface a
popup is opened to launch the Virtual
Console. The popup closes shortly after the
Virtual Console opens.
When launching both the GUI and Virtual
Console to the same iDRAC system on a
management station, a session timeout for
the iDRAC GUI occurs if the GUI is
launched before the popup closes. If the
iDRAC GUI is launched from the CMC
Web interface after the popup with the
Virtual Console closed, this issue does not
appear.
