Use Oracle ILOM Remote System Console Plus to remotely redirect a host server desktop or a host server storage device.
The Oracle ILOM Remote System Console Plus supports a full-control console video session for a primary user and a view-only console video session for all other signed-in users on the SP. By default, a maximum of four video redirection sessions can be launched from Oracle ILOM web interface. To prevent other signed-in video session users on the SP from viewing confidential data, you can set the Maximum Client Session Count property to 1 on the KVMS page in the Oracle ILOM web interface.
