Viewing multiple servers using Scan mode

The Video Session Viewer enables you to simultaneously view multiple servers through the Thumbnail
Viewer of Scan mode. This view contains a series of thumbnail frames, each containing a small, scaled,
non-interactive version of the screen image of the server. The server name and status indicator appears
below each thumbnail.
•
A green LED indicates that a server is currently being scanned.
•
A red X indicates that the last scan of the server was not successful. The scan might have failed
because of a credential or path failure (for example, the server path on the console switch was not
available). The tool tip for the LED indicates the reason for the failure.
The default thumbnail size is based on the number of servers in the scan list.

Scanning your servers

Through the Thumbnail Viewer, you can set up a scan sequence of up to 16 servers to monitor your
servers. Scan mode moves from one thumbnail image to the next, logging in to a server and displaying
an updated server image for a user-specified length of time (View Time Per Service), before logging out of
that server and moving on to the next thumbnail image. You can also specify a scan delay between
thumbnails (Time Between Servers). During the delay, you can see the last thumbnail image for all servers
in the scan sequence, though you will not be logged in to any servers.
When you first launch the Thumbnail Viewer, each frame is filled with a white background until a server
image appears. An indicator light at the bottom of each frame displays the status of the server. A green
LED indicates that a server is currently being scanned. A red X LED indicates that the last scan of the
server was not successful. The scan might have failed because of a credential or path failure (the server
path on the console switch was not available). The tool tip for the LED indicates the reason for the failure.
