Connection to Console and KVM Management Appliances
•
CommandCenter may interface with the Console and KVM management appliances of the Dominion
series and the IP-Reach series. Both serial and KVM devices are supported.
•
Raritan provides a standard console access, a vt100 Java terminal emulation for remote target devices
that require a serial connection. In addition, Raritan offers a variety of specialized applications that
allow users to set up a customized look and feel.
•
The application interface varies, depending on device type selected. In the case of the KVM device,
Raritan provides the complete keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) of the remote target system through
the CommandCenter.
•
CommandCenter can also interface with HP servers that have iLO or RILO access capabilities. In this
case, CC will launch HP’s own Java management applet when connecting to these devices and log into
iLO/RILO without prompting the user to re-authenticate.
•
Serial Port Access
To access a remote target device that is connected via a serial port, click on the appropriate device in the
Devices selection tree, under the Devices tab. If the port is configured for a console application, a Security
Warning appears, indicating that the console applet is a signed applet from Raritan Systems. Click
Yes and
the console port appears.
