Redirect Host Server Desktop or Storage Devices Using Oracle ILOM

Before you begin, ensure that the following requirements are met:

  • The following user credentials are required:

    • Console ( c ) user role privileges are required to use the Oracle ILOM Remote System Console Plus.

    • A user account on the host server is required to log in to the redirected host desktop.

    • To exclusively control the storage media from the Oracle ILOM System Remote Console Plus application, you must have root privileges on a Linux client or root administrator privileges on a Windows client.

  • The mouse mode is set correctly (see Set the Mouse Mode).

  • Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.6 or later is installed. For IPv4 networks, a 32-bit or 64-bit JDK is required. For IPv6 networks, a 32-bit or 64-bit Java Development Kit (JDK) 170636 or higher is required.

To launch the Oracle ILOM Remote System Console Plus application, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to the Oracle ILOM web interface.

    For instructions, see Logging In to or Out of Oracle ILOM.

  2. To launch the Oracle ILOM Remote System Console Plus application, click Remote Control → Redirection, and then click the Launch Remote Console button.

    After clicking the Launch Redirection Console button, the following events can occur:

    • If this is the first time launching the Oracle ILOM Remote System Console Plus application, a prompt to launch the Java web start program appears. Follow the instructions provided in the prompt to continue launching the Oracle ILOM Remote System Console Plus application.

    • If your system does not meet the Java security requirements for launching Oracle ILOM Remote System Console Plus, a Java error message appears. Follow the instructions provided in the Java error message to launch the Oracle ILOM Remote System Console Plus application.

    • The Oracle ILOM Remote System Console Plus window for video redirection appears.

    • The redirected video console displays the remote host server in its present state. For example, if the host server is powering on, a set of boot messages appears in the video console.

    • When a prompt for logging in to the host server appears, enter your user credentials for the remote host server.

      For additional details about launching the Oracle ILOM Remote System Console Plus application, click the More Details link on the Redirection web page.

    Note -  Full-control user mode is automatically enabled for the primary user. View-only user mode is automatically enabled for all subsequent signed-in session users.
  3. To take full-control or relinquish full-control of the current redirection session, click either Take Full-Control or Relinquish Full-Control in the KVMS menu.

    A view-only user can choose to take full-control of the redirection session and force the existing primary user to view-only mode.

    The primary user can relinquish full-control privileges for the current redirection session and switch to view-only mode.

  4. To redirect storage media, perform the following actions:
    1. Verify you have full-control privileges for the redirection session. If not, click Take Full-Control in the KVMS menu.

      If you are the primary user with full-control privileges, the option for Take Full-Control is disabled in the KVMS menu.

    2. Click Storage in the KVMS menu.

      The Storage Device dialog box appears.

    3. To add a storage image (such as a DVD image) to the Storage Device dialog box, click Add.

      Browse to the image file that you want to add, and then click Select.

    4. To redirect storage media, select a storage media entry in the Storage Device dialog box, and then click Connect.

      The Oracle ILOM Remote System Console Plus application must have exclusive control of the storage device in order to establish a redirection connection to the storage device.

      After establishing a connection to the device, the label on the Connect button in the Storage Device dialog box changes to Disconnect.

    5. To stop a storage media redirection session, select the storage media entry in the Storage Device dialog box and click Disconnect.
    6. To remove storage media entries listed in the Storage Device dialog box, click the storage media entry and click Remove.
  5. To exit the Oracle ILOM Remote System Console Plus, click Exit in the KVMS menu.
