238 Using GUI Virtual Console
Linux SysRq key is not working with
Internet Explorer. Why?
The Linux SysRq key behavior is different
when using Virtual Console from Internet
Explorer. To send the SysRq key, the Print
Screen key should be pressed and released
while holding the Ctrl and Alt keys.
Following are the steps to send the SysRq
key to a remote Linux server though
iDRAC, when using Internet Explorer:
1 Activate the magic key function on the
remote Linux server. You can use the
following command to activate it on the
Linux terminal.
echo 1 >
/proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
2 Activate the keyboard pass-through mode
of Active X Viewer.
3 Press Ctrl + Alt + Print Screen .
4 Release only Print Screen .
5 Press Print Screen + Ctrl + Alt .
NOTE: The SysRq feature is currently not
supported with Internet Explorer and Java.
