The ILOM Remote Console has a mouse mode setting that configures ILOM to send mouse events to the remote system using either “absolute” or “relative” mode. For the ILOM Remote Console to work properly with SIA, you must configure the mouse setting to relative mode. If your mouse is set to absolute mode, your mouse will not work when using SIA. For more information, see Mouse Settings When Using SIA with ILOM Remote Console.
