The Oracle ILOM Remote System Console enables you to remotely redirect the host server keyboard, video, mouse and storage (KVMS) events to a graphical shared desktop display. Using the SP web interface, you can deploy serial or video redirection client sessions over the configured management network to the host server.

The Storage Redirection CLI client service enables you to redirect remote storage devices on a host server to a command-line shell display.
