9.4.2 Accessing the Remote Control feature for the HX5
You manage the Remote Control feature for the HX5 through the Advanced Management
Module. Perform these steps:
1. To gain control of an HX5 blade, log in to the AMM.
2. In the left navigation pane, select Blade Tasks Remote Control. The available remote
control tasks are contained in three sections:
– Remote Control Status: This section shows which blade is the current kvm and media
tray owner of the chassis and allows you to change the blade ownership. Also, you can
perform this task directly from the Remote Control pane.
– Start Remote Control: This section allows you to start a remote control session to any
of the blades contained within the chassis.
– Remote Control Settings: This section controls how KVM access is managed for the
blades within the chassis. As with the IMM, you can also specify whether to allow
multiple concurrent sessions to the same blade. If you want exclusive remote access to
a blade, clear Allow multiple concurrent remote video sessions per blade, as
shown in Figure 9-16 on page 466.
Multiple concurrent remote video sessions: The “Allow multiple concurrent remote
video sessions per blade” setting is a system-wide setting, which applies to all of the
blades in the respective BladeCenter chassis.
