Set Mouse Mode
The mouse mode setting in Oracle ILOM must be set according to the requirements
of the operating system that you are using to connect to the host console, either
Absolute or Relative; otherwise, the on-screen mouse pointer will not track the
mouse movements.
■
For Windows and Oracle Solaris operating systems, set the mouse mode to
Absolute.
■
For newer versions of Linux operating systems, Oracle Linux 6.x, Red Hat
Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.x, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11 or later,
set the mouse mode to Absolute.
■
For older versions of Linux operating systems, Oracle Linux 5.x, RHEL 5.x, and
SLES 10, set the mouse mode to Relative and switch to Absolute if the mouse does
not work properly.
■
For Oracle VM and VMware ESXi, mouse mode settings do not apply.
To set the mouse mode, perform the following steps:
1. Log in to the Oracle ILOM web interface.
2. Select Remote Control > Mouse Mode and select the appropriate mode
according to the operating system that you are using to connect to the host
console.
Note –
Some versions of Oracle ILOM require the service processor (SP) to be reset
before the change will take effect. You will be prompted by an Oracle ILOM message
if your SP needs to be reset.

Access Remote Host Console Using the Oracle
ILOM Web Interface
To connect to the host console from a remote system, your remote system must meet
the following requirements:
■
An operating system such as Oracle Solaris, Linux, Oracle VM, or Windows is
installed and the mouse mode is set correctly (see
“Set Mouse Mode” on page 94 ).
■
The system must be connected to a network that has access to one of the Ethernet
management ports.
