Disabling or Enabling Local Server Video

You can configure the iDRAC6 to disallow iDRAC6 Virtual Console
connections using the iDRAC6 Web interface.
If you want to ensure that you have exclusive access to the managed server
console, you must disable the local console and reconfigure the Max Sessions
to 1 on the Virtual Console Configuration page.

keyboard, and mouse connected to the iDRAC6 Virtual Console are still enabled.
To disable or enable the local console, perform the following procedure:

the iDRAC6.
