378 Using the iKVM Module
Preemption Warning
Normally, a user connected to a server console through the iKVM and another
user connected to the same server console through the iDRAC GUI console
redirection feature both have access to the console and are able to type
simultaneously.
To prevent this scenario, the remote user, before starting the iDRAC GUI
console redirection, can disable the local console in the iDRAC Web
interface. The local iKVM user sees an OSCAR message that the connection
is preempted in a specified amount of time. The local user should finish work
before the iKVM connection to the server is terminated.
There is no preemption feature available to the iKVM user.
NOTE: If a remote iDRAC user has disabled the local video for a specific server,
that server's video, keyboard and mouse is unavailable to the iKVM. The server
state is marked with a yellow dot in the OSCAR menu to indicate that it is locked or
unavailable for local use (see "Viewing the Status of Your Servers").
Setting Console Security
OSCAR enables you to configure security settings on your iKVM console.
You can establish a screen saver mode that engages after your console remains
unused for a specified delay time. Once engaged, your console remains locked
until you press any key or move the mouse. Enter the screen saver password to
continue.
Use the Security dialog box to lock your console with password protection,
set or change your password, or enable the screen saver.
NOTE: If the iKVM password is lost or forgotten, you can reset it to the iKVM
factory default using the CMC Web interface or RACADM. See "Clearing a Lost or
Forgotten Password."
