Firmware |
The Oracle ILOM Remote System Console Plus is available on most Oracle servers that shipped
with Oracle ILOM 3.2.1 or later.
Note -
Newer SPARC servers (S7-2 and later) support serial
redirection mode only in the Oracle Remote System Console
Plus. To redirect the host server keyboard, video, and
mouse (KVM) events to a graphical shared desktop display on
newer SPARC servers, see Connecting to the Oracle ILOM Remote System VNC Console.
|
KVMS Settings |
Configure SP local client
properties for keyboard, mouse, and video redirection behavior.
KVMS Defaults:
KVMS State: Enabled, Mouse Mode: Absolute, Lock Mode: Disabled

|
Note - Absolute Mouse Mode
is recommended for all host server operating systems, with the exception
of a Linux-based operating system that does not include mouse driver support
for Absolute mode. In this case, for Linux-based systems without
driver support, Relative Mouse Mode should be configured. As of
Oracle ILOM firmware version 3.2.2, the Mouse Mode property in Oracle
ILOM is configurable. |
Hardware Mouse Pointer Settings
for Oracle Solaris 11 and Linux Operating Systems Using Relative Mouse
Mode |
To gain better control of the mouse pointer when Relative Mouse mode in is use, the default
hardware mouse settings for Acceleration, Sensitivity, and Threshold should be modified by following
these steps:
Step 1: Gain better control of the mouse:
(Oracle Solaris and Linux OS)
Start
a redirection session to the host server.
For details see, Launching and Using the Oracle ILOM Remote System Console Plus.
Log in to the host server desktop and launch a terminal
window.
In the terminal window, type: xset m 1 1 and
press Enter.
Click Mouse Sync in the Oracle ILOM Remote System
Console Plus redirection window.
Step 2: Make the mouse settings permanent:
(Oracle Solaris and Linux OS)
On the host OS system,
click System > Preferences > Mouse.
In the General tab of the Mouse dialog box, set
the slowest parameter for Acceleration, the lowest parameter for
Sensitivity, and the smallest parameter for threshold.

Hardware Mouse Pointer Settings
for Windows Operating Systems Using Relative Mouse Mode |
To gain better control of
the mouse pointer when Relative Mouse mode is in use on a Windows-based
operating system, disable the Mouse Hardware option for Enhanced Pointer
Precision by following these steps:
Click the Start
> Control Panel > Mouse.
In the Mouse Properties dialog box, click the Pointer Options tab.
In the Pointer Options tab, disable the option for
Enhanced Pointer Precision and click OK.

Java Runtime Environment |
The Oracle ILOM Remote System Console Plus requires the Java Runtime Environment to be either
Java 7 update 131 or later, Java 8, or Java 9. To download the
latest Java Runtime Environment, go to http://java.com.
Note -
All Java versions support TLS v1.2. However, if a version
prior to Java 7u131 is installed,
you will need to manually enable TLS v1.2 , or update your
system with a later Java version. For information about
configuring TLS properties in Oracle ILOM, see Figure 38, Table 38, Web Server Configuration Properties.
|
Required JDK |
For
IPv4 networks, a 32-bit or 64-bit JDK is required.
For IPv6 networks, a 32-bit or 64-bit JDK170b36
or higher is required.
|
User Roles and Host Server
User Credentials |
The
Admin (a) role is required in Oracle ILOM to
modify the KVMS service State.
The Console (c) role is required
in Oracle ILOM to modify KVMS properties (excluding the service
State property) and to launch the Oracle ILOM Remote System Console
Plus.
Host server user credentials are required to access
the redirected host server operating system desktop.

Web Browser Support |
|
Video Redirection and Serial Redirection
Use |
When launching the Oracle
ILOM Remote System Console Plus, users can launch a remote KVMS
session using one of the following redirection methods:
Serial
Redirection (Oracle SPARC servers only) – This
option is only available for Oracle SPARC server SPs. When it is
enabled, the serial-line redirection option supports a full-control
text-based console session for the primary user and a view-only text-based
console session for all other serial-line users that are currently
signed in to the server SP.
Video Redirection – This
option is available for Oracle x86 server SPs and SPARC server SPs.
When it is enabled, the video redirection option supports a full-control
GUI console session for the primary user and a view-only GUI console
session for other signed-in users for each server SP.
|
Maximum Redirection Sessions |
Maximum Serial-Line Redirection Sessions – A maximum
of one serial-line redirection session, per SP, can be launched from the Oracle ILOM Redirection
page..
Video Redirection – By default, a maximum of four
video redirection sessions, per SP, can be launched from the Oracle ILOM Redirection page. However,
to prevent other signed-in video session users on the SP from viewing confidential data during a
video session, you can set the Maximum Client Session Count property to 1. For instructions on how
to modify the maximum number of video sessions launched from an SP, see Modify KVMS Maximum Client Session Count (Optional).
|
Communication TCP/IP Ports Required |
The Oracle ILOM Remote System Console
Plus uses the following TCP/IP communication ports by default:
Port: 5120 for non-SSL
encrypted storage media redirection
Port: 5555 for SSL encrypted storage media, video,
and user authentication redirection
|
Keyboard Support |
|
Trusted SSL Certificate Support |
As of Oracle ILOM firmware 3,2,10, additional custom
certificate checks will occur if the custom SSL certificate and
private key are not properly configured. For instance:
-
A custom Certification Authority (CA) SSL Certificate
and a Private Key are upload to Oracle ILOM.
-
The Java Keystore on the client side is not properly
configured with the required root CA certificate to
validate the uploaded custom SSL certificate and private
key in Oracle ILOM.
