Chapter 1

•WEB console

The display mirroring is implemented by sending, for each console client connected to the MP CO command,

the same console output data flow. Keyboard sharing is implemented by merging all inputs coming from each

console client connected to the MP. The MP allows only one user to have write access to the shared console at

a time. If a mirrored console user attempts to type on the console and does not have write access, the user is

notified by an informative message:

[Read only - use ^Ecf for console write access.]

To gain write access to the system console, enter:

<^ (control)ecf> keys

That is, while holding down the

Control key, press the e key, then release the Control key and press the c and f

keys. Write access is retained until another user requests console write access.

Mirroring is implemented consistently with the access control rules that use a user logon and password.

However once a client has gained access to the MP, the user is able to access the redirected system’s console

without any restrictions. The only restrictions are that only one console user may type at a time and that

console write access has to be granted.

MP Command Mode

The MP Command Mode is available through a user interface from any console client connected to the MP.

This is an interactive process that may be activated by the console client from the Main Menu. The following

features are available from MP Command Mode:

• Status and control of Locator LED

• Access to BMC data: FRU information, system power state, temperature information, power supplies, and

fan status
