Remote Console Application
4.1 About ILOM and the Remote Console
Application
The Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) supports a powerful software
application that allows you to access the graphical console of your Sun Fire X4100 or
Sun Fire X4200 server remotely. This service is commonly known as RKVMS, remote
keyboard, video, mouse, and storage access. The ILOM Remote Console application
provides the following features:
■ Remote redirection and control of the server's console keyboard
■ Remote redirection and control of the server's console video output
■ Remote redirection and control of the server's console mouse
■ Remote access to the server console from storage devices such as CD/DVD drives
and floppy disk drives
This section introduces general requirements for installing the Remote Console
application and options for launching the Remote Console application.
4.1.1 Server (Host) Installation Requirements
The Remote Console application uses Java technology. For each operating system
supported by the Sun Fire X4100 or Sun Fire X4200 server, there are one or more OS-
specific binary files that you must install and configure. For detailed information
about OS-specific application software and OS-specific installation procedures, see
the appropriate System Management — Remote Console Application sections.
