Text Console - ClearCube V7000 User Manual

3. Text Console

To start the text console, shown in Figure 3-1, click the Text Console tab. Click Start
at the bottom of the screen to initialize the text console connection. The UTF-8
checkbox allows the user to select a different UTF-8 character set to support multiple
languages. Click Stop to stop the text console.
NOTE: If you start a blade text console session from the CMM on a V7000 that
contains an IPMI card, you cannot type in the text console. To type in a blade's text
console, you must start the text console directly from the blade rather than from the
CMM.
At the top are the Power and KVM control panels for the blades. The power button
can perform a power on, reset, graceful shutdown and power down function on the
selected blade. The power button icon represents the current blade power status: green
for powered on and amber for powered off. The KVM icon shows which blade KVM
has been selected on. Click on another KVM button to switch to a blade which you
want to connect its text console.
