Installation Guide

♦Remote console before OS boot or during DOS program running

If a graphic screen is displayed on a managed server, data cannot be displayed correctly on the CUI remote console.

The CUI remote console screen is displayed only when the managed server displays a text screen.

♦In case of interruption to Remote Console

After the BMC on a managed server establishes communication via WAN/Direct connection, communication with the

DianaScope Agent or NEC ESMPRO Agent Extension may ends up with a timeout or the remote console may not be

updated any more. This is because priority is given to communication with the BMC.

To restart the remote console, use the [Restart Redirection] button on the NEC ESMPRO Manager.

♦Display of a special character

The CUI remote console screen is not displayed correctly in the following cases :

 Special character

Ruled lines, arrows correctly and en-size left arrows cannot be displayed.

 User definition font

User definition font cannot be displayed.

♦In case of display of illegally keyed data on the Remote Console

If you use the managed server integrated BMC, unintentionally keyed data may appear on a managed server in the

following conditions when the NEC ESMPRO Manager issues a command to the BMC:

– WAN/Direct connection.

– The SAC screen at Windows boot or the CUI remote console under Linux is accessed.

♦In case of key-in failure on the Remote Console

 During DOS boot or access to the removable media immediately after the managed server's power switch is turned

ON, data cannot be keyed in from the remote console or the keyed data display may be delayed.

 Remote Console is realized by using the Serial Over LAN (SOL) function of the IPMI conformity and the Serial

Redirection function of BIOS.

Data cannot be keyed in from the Remote Console when the firmware(BIOS and so on) or the software requires

the key code that VT100 terminal emulator (the hyper-terminal and so on) can't control.

Refer to the document of each firmware or software for the details.

♦RAID EzAssist Configuration Utility

To operate RAID EzAssist for a SOL-incompatible managed server from the CUI remote console via LAN, set the item

"Console Redirection" to "Disable" on the BIOS Setup Utility screen, reboot the system, and then boot the RAID

EzAssist Configuration Utility.
