Console Mirroring
Console mirroring allows a person on a local ASCII terminal to monitor the Service
Processor activities of a remote user. Console mirroring ends when the Service
Processor releases control of the serial ports to the system firmware.
System Configuration:
Ÿ
Service Processor
Ÿ
Modem connected to one serial port and enabled for incoming calls
Ÿ
Local ASCII terminal connected to the other serial port. This local terminal may
be connected directly to your server or connected through another modem
There are two scenarios in which console mirroring can be invoked:
1. Remote session first, then local session added:
a. Remote session already in progress
b. Remote user uses the Service Processor menus to enable console mirroring,
allowing both consoles to be active
2. Local session first, then remote session added:
a. Local session is already in progress
b. The Service Processor receives a call from the remote user
c. The local user selects the option to enable console mirroring. The Service
Processor immediately begins mirroring Service Processor menus
Note: A quick disconnect is accomplished by hitting the key sequence Ctrl+D on
either console. Both sessions will exit the Service Processor menus.
