click View and Edit Actions .
For Linux, once you have installed either JRE or JDK, add a path to the Java
bin directory to the front of your system PATH. For example, if Java is
installed in /usr/java, add the following line to your local .bashrc or
/etc/profile:
PATH=/usr/java/bin:$PATH; export PATH
NOTE:
There may already be PATH-modification lines in the files. Ensure that the
path information you enter does not create conflicts.
Installing Telnet or SSH Clients
By default, iDRAC6 Telnet service is disabled and the SSH service is enabled.
Since Telnet is an insecure protocol, you should use it only if you cannot
install an SSH client or your network connection is otherwise secured.
NOTE:
iDRAC6 supports up to 4 Telnet sessions and 4 SSH sessions
simultaneously.
Telnet with iDRAC6
Telnet is included in Windows and Linux operating systems, and can be run
from a command shell. You may also choose to install a commercial or freely
available Telnet client with more convenience features than the standard
version included with your operating system.
If your management station is running Windows XP SP1 or Windows 2003,
you may experience an issue with the characters in an iDRAC6 Telnet
session.This issue may occur as a frozen login where the return key does not
respond and the password prompt does not appear.
To fix this issue, download hotfix 824810 from the Microsoft Support website
at
support.microsoft.com . See Microsoft Knowledge Base article 824810 for
more information.
NOTE:
The hotfix is needed only for Windows XP SP1 and Windows 2003.
Windows XP SP2 fixed the issue.
