Installation Manual

202 Using GUI Virtual Console
The following rules apply to a Virtual Console session:
• A maximum of four simultaneous Virtual Console sessions are supported.
All sessions view the same managed server console simultaneously.
• From 1.5 release version onwards, multiple sessions to multiple remote
servers is possible from the same client, based on the order in which they
are opened. If a Virtual Console session using Java plug-in is open, you can
open another Virtual Console session using ActiveX plug-in. However, if a
ActiveX based Virtual Console session is open, then another Virtual
Console session using Java plug-in cannot be opened. You must close the
first Virtual Console session to open a second Virtual Console session.
• A Virtual Console session should not be launched from a Web browser on
the managed system.
• A minimum available network bandwidth of 1 MB/sec is required.
• The first Virtual Console session to the iDRAC6 is a full access session. If a
second user requests a Virtual Console session, the first user is notified and
is given the option (approve, reject, or allow as read-only) to send a sharing
request to the second user. The second user is notified that another user
has control. When the first user has not responded for each subsequent
user’s sharing request within a timeout of 30 seconds, Virtual Console
access is granted based on the value set for the
cfgRacTuneVirtualConsoleAuthorizeMultipleSessions
object. This object is irrespective of the plug-in type (ActiveX or Java) set
to be used in the second/third/fourth session. For more information about
this object, see the
RACADM Command Line Reference Guide for iDRAC6
and CMC
available on the Dell Support website at
dell.com/support/manuals .
NOTE: This rule is applicable only with the remote or firmware (SSH or Telnet)
RACADM and not with local RACADM.
