Network - Avocent ACS V6000 User Manual

NOTE: Without the configuration of vCenter, the configuration of associations via the virtual console server and the
power action of targets via the virtual console server will not be available. The password will be encrypted and
stored in the appliance. The virtual console server will be registered in the vCenter as ACS v6000 and it will not show
up in any list of available virtual machines for association.
2. Enter the vSPC port that is the TCP port the virtual console server will listen to for Telnet
connections from the VMware ESX or ESXi server, then click Save.
NOTE: Do not use a TCP port that conflicts with the TCP port alias of serial ports.
To power control targets using the web manager:
1. After you have configured a vCenter, select Access in the Side Navigation Bar. The content
area displays the name of the virtual console server and a list of names or aliases for all
installed and configured devices the user is authorized to access. The State column shows
the current power state of the virtual machine.
2. If the user is authorized to power control the target, the power control operations (Power
On, Power Off, Power Cycle and Suspend) are available in the Action column. Action
buttons are available at the top of the table.
3. Select the target(s) and click the appropriate action button. The command will be sent to
the vCenter to be performed.
NOTE: Power operations may take a long time to be performed. The user should be patient and refresh the page
to check the state of the targets.
