Before You Begin
Ensure that the requirements for first-time use have been met: Figure 62, Table 62, Requirements for Using Oracle ILOM Remote System Console Plus.
Storage drive devices (such as CD, DVD, floppy, and USB devices) are automatically detected and listed in the Oracle ILOM Remote System Console Plus Storage Device dialog box. If bootable media is not detected in the drive, a lock icon will appear on the drive that is listed in the Storage Device dialog box.
Storage images must be added to the Oracle ILOM Remote System Console Plus Storage Device dialog box after launching a KVMS session.
Solaris users must use the serial-redirection mode in Oracle ILOM Remote System Console Plus to access the Solaris Host Console, view Solaris Host Console messages, or to issue Solaris Host Console commands such as boot commands. The video mode redirection option in the Oracle ILOM Remote System Console Plus must not be used to access the Solaris Host Console, view Solaris Host Console messages, or to issue Solaris Host Console commands such as boot commands.
The following user credentials are required:
Console (c) user role privileges are required to use the Oracle ILOM Remote System Console Plus.
To exclusively control storage media from the Oracle ILOM Remote System Console Plus application, you must have either:
- Root privileges on the Linux client.
- Administrator privileges on the Windows client.
- “Run as Administrator” privileges upon starting the Java web start program that launches the Oracle ILOM Remote System Console Plus application.
A user account on the host server is required to log in to the redirected host desktop.
After clicking the Launch Redirection Console button, the Oracle ILOM Remote System Console Plus window for video redirection shows the redirected host server desktop in its present state. For example:
If the host server is powering on, a set of boot messages appear.
If the host server operating system is powered-on, a GUI (graphical user interface) screen of the host desktop appears.
If the host server is not powered-on, a snapshot of the last host console state prior to the power-off appears. For example, if the host login screen appeared prior to powering-off the server, the host login screen will appear in the KVMS session window. In this case, the server is actually powered-off and host redirection is disabled until the server is powered-on.
Take Full-Control – A view-only user can choose to take full-control of the redirection session and force the existing primary user to view-only mode.
Relinquish Full-Control – The primary user can relinquish full-control privileges for the current redirection session and switch to view-only mode.
The Storage Device dialog box appears.
