236 Using GUI Virtual Console
I am still having issues with mouse
synchronization.
Ensure that the correct mouse is selected for
your operating system before starting a
Virtual Console session.
Ensure that Synchronize Mouse is checked
in the Mouse menu. Press <Alt><M> or
select Mouse Synchronize mouse to
toggle mouse synchronization. When
synchronization is enabled, a check mark is
displayed next to the selection in the Mouse
menu.
Why can't I use a keyboard or mouse
while installing a Microsoft operating
system remotely by using iDRAC6
Virtual Console?
When you remotely install a supported
Microsoft operating system on a system with
Virtual Console enabled in the BIOS, you
receive an EMS Connection Message that
requires that you 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 server, reinstall, and then
turn Virtual Console off in the BIOS.
This message is generated by Microsoft to
alert the user that Virtual Console is
enabled. To ensure that this message does
not appear, always turn off Virtual Console
in the BIOS before installing an operating
system remotely.
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 iDRAC6, 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.
