OBWI
The OBWI provides management functions that are similar to those of the HP IP Console Viewer software.
However, the OBWI does not require a software server or installation. Instead, you use a supported
browser ("

) to launch the OBWI directly from the console switch. Any
servers that are connected to the console switch are automatically detected.
The OBWI must be accessed from a supported operating system ("

) that has Java™ 1.6 installed.
Features and benefits
•
Ease of installation
Auto discovery of managed console switches enables you to locate and install new console switches.
An installation wizard simplifies the task of initial configuration, and an online help application is
available to assist you with installation tasks.
•
Ease of configuration
The HP IP Console Viewer has an intuitive GUI-based configuration with tools to load and save
managed console switch-based configuration tables and managed console switch groupings user
tables.
•
Ease of update
The HP IP Console Viewer contains easy-to-use tools to initiate flash upgrades, distribute database
files, and back up and restore managed console switch-based configurations.
•
Ease of management
The HP IP Console Viewer enables you to add and manage multiple console switches and servers in
one system. After a console switch or server is installed, you can configure the console switch
parameters, launch, share or preempt user video sessions, and execute numerous control functions.
From the intuitive Manage Console Switch window, you can enable SNMP traps, configure target
servers, cascade console switches, and manage user databases.
•
Increased customization capabilities
The HP IP Console Viewer can be customized to meet your specific needs. Unit names, field names,
icons, and macros can be customized for maximum flexibility and convenience.
•
Virtual Media capability
The HP IP Console Viewer enables you to map a mass storage device or a CD/DVD drive on the
local computer as a virtual drive on a target server. You can also add and map an .iso or floppy
image file on the local console switch as a virtual drive on the target server.
•
Increased capacity
NOTE:
The HP IP Console Viewer database is designed to store up to 25 managed console
switches and up to 1,024 target servers (devices). If more units are added, performance may
decrease.
Each managed KVM console switch supports up to 64 internal user accounts and has client support
for multiple simultaneous user sessions, depending on the model:
o
1 x 1, where one remote user session is supported
o
2 x 1, where two remote user sessions are supported
