Using GUI Console Redirection 141
Why doesn’t the Num Lock
indicator on my
management station reflect
the status of the Num Lock
on the remote server?
When accessed through the DRAC 5, the Num Lock indicator on the
management station does not necessarily coincide with the state of the
Num Lock on the remote server. The state of the Num Lock is dependent
on the setting on the remote server when the remote session is connected,
regardless of the state of the Num Lock on the management station.
Why do multiple Session
Viewer windows appear
when I establish a console
redirection session?
You are configuring a console redirection session to the local system.
Reconfigure the session to a remote system.
If I am running a console
redirection session and a
local user accesses the
remote system, do I receive
a warning message?
No. If a local user accesses the system, he/she can override your actions with
no warning.
How much bandwidth do I
need to run a console
redirection session?
Dell recommends a 5 MB/sec connection for good performance. A 1 MB/sec
connection is required for minimal performance.
What are the minimum
system requirements for my
management station to run
console redirection?
The management station requires an Intel Pentium III 500 MHz processor
with at least 256 MB of RAM.
What are the maximum
number of console
redirection sessions that I
can run on a remote system?
The DRAC 5 supports up to two simultaneous console redirection sessions.
Why do I have mouse
synchronization problems?
On Linux (Red Hat or Novell) systems, there are known mouse arrow
synchronization issues. To minimize mouse synchronization problems,
ensure that all users use the default mouse settings.
