IBM BladeCenter Management Module User Manual page 31

Select the Remote Control choice to:
v View and change the current owners of the keyboard, monitor, and mouse
(KVM), and of the CD-ROM drive, diskette drive, and USB port (Media tray).
v View the details of any remote control session currently active (user ID, client IP
address, start time).
v Disable local switching of the KVM and of the media tray for all blade servers
until they are explicitly enabled again. This prevents a local user from switching
the console display to a different blade server while you are performing remote
control tasks.
v Redirect a blade server console to the remote console.
On the remote console, you can:
– Change the owner of the KVM and of the media tray to the blade server you
need to view.
– Select and access the disk drives in the media tray.
– Mount a disk drive or disk image, from the computer that is acting as the
remote console, on to a blade server. The mounted disk drive or disk image
will appear as a USB device attached to the blade server.
– Access files at any available network location.
– View the current blade server display.
– Control the blade server as if you were at the local console, including
restarting the blade server and viewing the POST process, with full keyboard
and mouse control.
Remote console keyboard support includes all keys. Icons are provided for keys
that might have a special meaning to the blade server. For example, to transmit
Ctrl-Alt-Del to the blade server, you must click the Ctrl icon and then press the Alt
and Del keys on the keyboard.
Notes:
1. Only one remote control session is allowed at a time. If a remote control
session is already active, you can end the current session and start a new one.
