Question Answer
How many servers can
be connected to each
Dominion KX II unit? Dominion KX II models range from 16 or 32 server ports in a 1U chassis
to 64 server ports in a 2U chassis. This is the industry's highest digital
KVM switch port density.
What happens if I
disconnect a server from
Dominion KX II and
reconnect it to another
Dominion KX II unit, or
connect it to a different
port on the same
Dominion KX II unit? Dominion KX II will automatically update the server port names when
servers are moved from port to port. Furthermore, this automatic
update does not just affect the local access port, but propagates to all
remote clients and the optional CommandCenter Secure Gateway
management appliance.
How do I connect a
serially controlled (RS-
232) device to Dominion
KX II, such as a Cisco
router/switch or a
headless Sun server? If there are only a few serially-controlled devices, they may be
connected to a Dominion KX II using Raritan's new P2CIM-SER serial
converter.
However, if there are four or more serially-controlled devices, we
recommend the use of Raritan's Dominion SX line of secure console
servers. For multiple serial devices, Dominion SX offers more serial
functionality at a better price point than Dominion KX II. This SX is
easy to use, configure and manage, and can be completely integrated
with a Dominion Series deployment. In particular, many UNIX and
networking administrators appreciate the ability to directly SSH to a
Dominion SX unit.
