Lights-Out Advanced KVM card Requirements

This section addresses the following Lights-Out Advanced KVM card requirements and conditions:
• You need Java on the browser system to use vMedia.
• You need Internet Explorer Active-X controls to use the IRC.
• Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 (minimum) is required for the IRC.
• You need to be running Internet Explorer (with Active-X) on the browser system to use the
IRC. Currently, IRC only supports partitions running Windows.
• You can only launch one vMedia per complex. For example, if you have vMedia running
for nPar1, you cannot run vMedia for nPar2.
• A network link to the partition's Lights-Out Advanced KVM card is required to launch
vMedia. If there is no network link, the following message displays Status: vMedia is
in use or unavailable.
• Vista client systems are not currently supported. You can still run your SSH and Telnet
sessions to the MP for VFP, character console, and streaming live system event logs.
Table 5-1 lists the supported system configurations for the Lights-Out Advanced KVM card at
