Launching Virtual Console and Virtual Media
Remotely
You can launch Virtual Console/Virtual Media by entering a single URL on a
supported browser instead of launching it from the iDRAC6 Web GUI.
Depending on your system configuration, you will either go through the
manual authentication process (login page) or will be directed to the Virtual
Console/Virtual Media viewer automatically.
If SSO is already configured on the system, you cannot use the URL format
for launching Virtual Console/Virtual Media.
You can launch the Virtual Console with a user account created locally in
iDRAC6, LDAP and Active Directory.
NOTE: Internet Explorer supports Local, Active Directory (AD), Smart Card (SC) and
Single Sign-On (SSO) logins. Firefox supports only Local, AD, and SSO logins on
Windows-based operating system. It does not support SC login.
Launching Console Using URL Format
If you enter the link<IP>/console in a browser, then log in using the
normal manual login procedure depending on the login configuration. If the
login is successful, the Virtual Console/Virtual Media view is launched. Else,
you are redirected to the iDRAC6 GUI home page.
The iDRAC Web GUI session is displayed in the background on the vKVM
page.
You can launch only one session of the Virtual Console at a time.
If you have Read Only privileges then use the URL format to launch only the
the Virtual Console page and not the Virtual Media page.
