Launch a remote console redirection session from the Oracle ILOM web interface using the Oracle ILOM Remote System Console (Plus) application. This application enables you to install software on your server remotely or manage your server remotely through a serial or video redirection session.
Oracle X4-2 servers use the original version of the Oracle ILOM Remote System Console application. This application support launching multiple KVMS redrection sessions from the Oracle ILOM web interface, as well as a separate command-line interface (CLI) for redirecting storage devices.
For further details about launching Oracle ILOM Remote System Console KVMS sessions from the web interface, see the Before You Begin and the procedural instructions that follow in this topic. For further details about setting up and usng the storage redirection CLI feature in Oracle ILOM, see the Oracle ILOM Storage Redirection CLI information in the Oracle ILOM Configuration and Maintenance Guide for firmware release 3.1. or 3.2.
The Oracle X4-4 and X4-8 servers support the Oracle ILOM Remote System Console Plus application. This application provides support for launching a maximum of four video remote console sessions and one serial remote console session from the Oracle ILOM web interface.
Full-redirection control privileges are granted to the first (primary) redirection session user logged-in on the SP. All other redirection session users are granted view-only redirection control privileges.
A primary user can relinquish full control of the redirection session by exiting the video or serial session window, or by selecting Relinquish Full-Control in the KVMS menu of the video session window.
View only users can take full control of a relinquished full control redirection session by exiting and relaunching the session window, or by selecting Take Full-Control from the KVMS menu in the video session window.
Before You Begin
Ensure that the following prerequisites are met before you launch a remote console redirection session from Oracle ILOM:
Ensure that the appropriate Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is installed.
For Oracle X4-2 servers, the Oracle ILOM Remote System Console requires JRE 1.5 or later. In addition, Windows Internet Explorer (IE) web browser users must also register the 32-bit JDK file on the management client prior to launching the Oracle ILOM Remote System Console.
For Oracle X4-4 and X4-8 servers, the Oracle ILOM Remote System Console Plus requires JRE 1.6 or later.
Ensure that the appropriate KVMS properties are set on the Oracle ILOM SP prior to launching a remote system console session for the first time. To view or set the KVMS properties, click Remote Control > KVMS in the Oracle ILOM web interface.
The Oracle ILOM Remote System Console requires that the KVMS State is enabled (enabled by default). Optionally, you can set the Host Lock properties on the KVMS page to automatically lock the host operating system desktop upon disconnecting from a remote console session.
Mouse mode properties (Absolute or Relative) can be configured on the KVMS page for Solaris-based and Linux-based operating systems.
Use Absolute Mouse mode if the remote host is running Windows, Oracle Solaris, or a version of Linux that includes driver support for Absolute Mouse mode.
Use Relative Mouse mode if the remote host is running a version of Linux that does not include driver support for Absolute Mouse mode.
Ensure that you have Console (c) role privileges enabled in Oracle ILOM. This role is required to use an Oracle ILOM Remote System Console session.
Ensure that you have operating system user credentials for the host server prior to logging into the redirected host operating system desktop.
