Launching the Remote Console Application From the CMM

If you want to manage multiple blades from one Remote Console session, log in to and launch the Remote Console application from the CMM. Once the Remote Console session is running, log in to one or more blades to manage them concurrently. Each blade appears as a new tab in the current Remote Console session.

Use the following procedure to launch the Remote Console application from the ILOM web interface on a CMM.

  1. Open a web browser and specify the IP address of the CMM, then press Enter.

  3. From the Remote Control tab, choose Redirection.
