Launching vKVM and Virtual Media Remotely
You can launch vKVM/virtual media by entering a single URL on a supported
browser instead of launching it from the iDRAC6 Web GUI. Depending on
your system configuration, you will either go through the manual
authentication process (login page) or will be directed to the vKVM/virtual
media viewer automatically.
NOTE: Internet Explorer supports Local, Active Directory (AD), Smart Card (SC) and
Single Sign-On (SSO) logins. Firefox supports only Local and AD logins.
URL Format
If you enter the link<IP>/console in the browser, you may be required
to go through the normal manual login procedure depending on the login
configuration. If SSO is not enabled and Local, AD, or SC login is enabled,
the corresponding login page is displayed. If the login is successful, the
vKVM/vMedia view is not launched. Instead, you are redirected to the
iDRAC6 GUI home page.
