204 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.
• Two sessions can be opened to a remote server (one per plug-in type) from
the same client console (management station). 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 iDRAC6 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 send a sharing request to the second user. The
second user is notified that another user has control.
