Question
Answer
Do I have to use hotkeys to switch
between blades?
Some blade servers require you to use hotkeys
to switch between blades. With the Dominion
KX II, you don’t have to use these hotkeys.
Just click on the name of the blade server, and
the Dominion KX II will automatically switch to
that blade without the explicit use of the
hotkey.
Can I access the blade server’s
management module?
Yes. You can define the URL of the
management module and access it from the
Dominion KX II or from our CommandCenter
Secure Gateway. If configured, one-click
access is available.
How many blade servers can I
connect to a Dominion KX II?
For performance and reliability reasons, you
can connect up to eight blade chassis to a
Dominion KX II, regardless of model. Raritan
recommends connecting up to two times the
number of remote connections supported by
the device. For example, with a KX2-216 with
two remote channels, we recommend
connecting up to four blade server chassis.
You can, of course, connect individual servers
to the remaining server ports.
I’m an SMB customer with
a few Dominion KX IIs.
Must I use your CommandCenter
Secure Gateway management
station?
No, you don’t have to. SMB customers are not
required to use CommandCenter Secure
Gateway to use the new blade features.
I’m an enterprise customer using
CommandCenter Secure Gateway.
Can I access blade servers via
CommandCenter Secure
Gateway?
Yes. Once blade servers are configured on the
Dominion KX II, the CommandCenter Secure
Gateway user can access them via KVM
connections. In addition, the blade servers are
organized by chassis as well as
CommandCenter Secure Gateway custom
views.
What if I also want in-band or
embedded KVM access?
In-band and embedded access to blade
servers can be configured within
CommandCenter Secure Gateway.
I’m running VMware® on some of
my blade servers. Is this
supported?
Yes. With CommandCenter Secure Gateway,
you can display and access virtual machines
running on blade servers.
