Using GUI Console Redirection

Does switching off the
local video also switch
off the local keyboard
and mouse? Yes.
Does turning off the
local console turn off
the video on the
remote console
session? No, turning the local video on or off is independent of the
remote console session.
What privileges are
needed for an iDRAC6
user to turn on or off
the local server video? Any user with iDRAC6 configuration privileges can turn the
local console on or off.
How can I get the
current status of the
local server video? The status is displayed on the Console Redirection and
Virtual Media screen of iDRAC6 Web interface.
The RACADM CLI command
racadm getconfig
–g cfgRacTuning displays the status in the object
cfgRacTuneLocalServerVideo . This racadm command can
be executed from Telnet/SSH or a remote session to the
iDRAC6.
The remote RACADM command is:
racadm -r <idracip> -u <user> -p
<password> getconfig -g cfgRacTuning
The status is also seen on the iKVM OSCAR display. When
the local console is enabled, a green status appears next to
the server name. When disabled, a yellow dot indicates that
the local console is locked by iDRAC6.
I cannot see the
bottom of the system
screen from the
Console Redirection
window. Ensure that the management station’s monitor resolution is
set to 1280x1024.
The console window is
garbled. The console viewer on Linux requires a UTF-8 character set.
Check your locale and reset the character set if needed.
See "Setting the Locale in Linux" for more information.
