Enable/Disable Console Mirroring
Console mirroring is supported on serial port 1 (S1) and serial port 2 (S2). When
console mirroring is enabled, the service processor sends information to both serial
ports. The serial port from which console mirroring is enabled is referred to as the
active port . The mirror port is determined when keyboard input is detected from the
other port. From this point on, the service processor only sends information to the
active port and the mirror port. This capability can be enabled by local or remote
users, providing local users the capability to monitor remote sessions. Console
mirroring can be enabled for the current session only. For more information, see
“Console Mirroring” on page 407.
v Start Talk Mode
In a console mirroring session, it is useful for those who are monitoring the session
to be able to communicate with each other. Selecting this menu item activates the
keyboards and displays for such communications while console mirroring is
established. This is a full duplex link, so message interference is possible. Alternating
messages between users works best.
