Using GUI Console Redirection 211

Two mouse pointers appear in the viewer window: one for the remote

system and one for your local system. You can change to a single cursor by

selecting the

Single Cursor

option under

Tools

in the iDRAC6 KVM

menu.

Using iDRAC6 KVM (Video Viewer)

The iDRAC6 KVM (Video Viewer) provides a user interface between the

management station and the managed server, allowing you to see the

managed server’s desktop and control its mouse and keyboard functions from

your management station. When you connect to the remote system, the

iDRAC6 KVM starts in a separate window.

NOTE: If the remote server is powered off, the message, No Signal,

will be displayed.

The iDRAC6 KVM provides various control adjustments such as mouse

synchronization, snapshots, keyboard macros, and access to Virtual Media.

For more information about these functions, click System

→

Console/Media

and click Help on the Console Redirection and Virtual Media GUI page.

When you start a console redirection session and the iDRAC6 KVM is

displayed, you may need to synchronize the mouse pointers.

Table 10-6 describes the menu options that are available for use in the viewer.
