174 Using GUI Console Redirection
The following rules apply to a console redirection session:
• A maximum of four simultaneous console redirection sessions are
supported. All sessions view the same managed server console
simultaneously.
• Only one session can be opened to a remote server (iDRAC6) from the
same client console (management station). However, multiple sessions to
multiple remote servers are possible from the same client.
• A console redirection session should not be launched from a Web browser
on the managed system.
• A minimum available network bandwidth of 1 MB/sec is required.
The first console redirection session to the iDRAC is a full access session. If a
second user requests a console redirection session, the first user is notified
and is given the option to reject, allow as read-only, or approve. The second
user is notified that another user has control. The first user must respond
within thirty seconds or access is refused to the second user.
All of the allow as read-only sessions automatically terminate when the last
full access session is terminated.
