Answer
Some blade servers require you to use hotkeys
to switch between blades. With the Dominion
KX III, you don't have to use these hotkeys.
Just click on the name of the blade server, and
the Dominion KX III will automatically switch to
that blade without the explicit use of the
hotkey.
Yes. You can define the URL of the
management module and access it from the
Dominion KX III or from our CommandCenter
Secure Gateway. If configured, one-click
access is available.
For performance and reliability reasons, you
can connect up to eight blade chassis to a
Dominion KX III, regardless of model. Raritan
recommends connecting up to two times the
number of remote connections supported by
the device. For example, with a KX3-216 with
two remote channels, we recommend
connecting up to four blade server chassis.
You can, of course, connect individual servers
to the remaining server ports.
Yes. Once blade servers are configured on the
Dominion KX III, the CommandCenter Secure
Gateway user can access them via KVM
connections. In addition, the blade servers are
organized by chassis as well as
CommandCenter Secure Gateway custom
views.
In-band and embedded access to blade
servers can be configured within
CommandCenter Secure Gateway.
Yes. With CommandCenter Secure Gateway,
you can display and access virtual machines
running on blade servers.
This depends on the blade server. HP blades
can support virtual media. The IBM
BladeCenter (except for BladeCenter T)
supports virtual media if configured
appropriately. A virtual media CIM –
D2CIM-VUSB or D2CIM-DVUSB – must be
used.
