HP ProLiant SL2x170z G6 Server - Manual (Page 34)

Using the remote graphic console
The Remote KVM/Media Viewer displays a virtual desktop and provides full control over the
display, keyboard, and mouse of the host server. There are three different menus in the remote
graphic console menu bar: Control, Preferences, and Help.
•
Control—Enables you to access virtual media devices and the virtual keyboard, refresh the
screen, and exit the client.
•
Preferences—Enables you to set mouse, keyboard, and logging options.
•
Help—Displays an About box, which specifies the LO100 remote graphic console version,
build date, and time.
The Control menu of the remote graphic console has several different options.
•
Virtual Media—Displays the Virtual Media Devices page. The Virtual Media Devices page
displays all accessible media drives of the storage server. Supported devices are CD-ROM,
DVD-ROM, floppy disk, and mass storage devices. For more information, see
“Using Virtual
Media” (page 37) .
•
Virtual Keyboard—Opens a virtual keyboard enabling you to change the language of the
virtual keyboard. To change keyboard settings, see
“Remote graphic console settings”
(page 35) .
The Lock button on the Virtual Keyboard is added to each language. If you click the Lock
button, special keys that you press, such as Shift, Alt, Ctrl, context and Windows remain in a
pressed status. To release the special keys, click the Lock button and then click the pressed
special keys.
NOTE: When entering any ESC key sequences, extra characters might be buffered, causing
the remote side to receive function-key presses incorrectly. To avoid this issue and perform
function key or alternate key sequences, press and hold the ESC key, release it, and then press
the other key sequence.
•
Turn local monitor on—Powers on the local monitor.
•
Turn local monitor off—Powers down the local monitor.
When the Turn local monitor off setting is enabled, the local monitor (if connected) appears
black (blank/off) when Virtual KVM is invoked. This is a security feature. The local monitor
returns to normal operation after closing Virtual KVM.
The Virtual KVM applet is not compatible with standard VNC clients and does not implement
standard VNC protocols. You must use the supplied Java applet to connect to the server. The
Virtual KVM applet cannot pass the F10 key sequence to the target system. To work around
this issue, use the virtual keyboard on the remote server to transmit the F10 key.
•
Refresh Screen—Updates the information on the screen.
•
Take Full Control—Enables you to take control of the remote console if you are currently in
view-only mode. Only one remote console user can control the remote console at a time.
•
Disconnect Session—Disconnects the selected user session.
•
Relinquish Full Control—Releases control of the session and remains in a view-only status.
•
Exit—Closes the remote session.
