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 395.
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.
