F6: BRC

F6 is an administrator only function. When this function is in effect, commands sent from the console
are broadcast to all available server on the installation.
This function is particularly useful for operations that need to be performed on multiple servers (such as
performing a system wide shutdown, installing or upgrading software, etc.).
BRC works in conjunction with the F2: LIST function. The List function (see "F2: LIST" on page 17),
is used to broaden or narrow the focus of which ports appear on the OSD Main Screen. When you
broadcast a command, it is to the ports currently displayed on the OSD Main Screen.
• While BRC mode is in effect, a speaker symbol appears before the port ID display of the port that
currently has the console focus.
• While BRC mode is in effect, the mouse will not function normally. Exit BRC mode in order to
regain control of the mouse.
• To exit BRC mode, invoke the OSD (with the OSD Hotkey), then click the F6 field, or press
] or [ ].
