Chapter 13: KSX II Local Console
248
The KVM and serial target servers are initially sorted by Port Number;
you can change the display to sort on any of the columns.
Port Number - Numbered from 1 to the total number of ports
available for the KSX II.
Port Name - The name of the KSX II port. Initially this is set to
Dominion-KSX II-Port#, but you can change the name to something
more descriptive. When you click the Port Name link, an Action
Menu is opened.
Port Type - Serial, KVM, Power Strip, or Not Available.
Note: Do not use apostrophes for the Port (CIM) Name.
Status - The Status is either up or down.
To change the sort order:
Click the column heading you want to sort by. The list of KVM
target servers is sorted by that column.
Hot Keys and Connect Keys
Because the KSX II Local Console interface is completely replaced by
the interface for the target server you are accessing, a hot key is used to
disconnect from a target and return to the local port GUI. A connect key
is used to connect to a target or switch between targets.
The Local Port hot key allows you to rapidly access the KSX II Local
Console user interface when a target server is currently being viewed.
The default is to press the Scroll Lock key twice in rapid succession, but
you can designate another key combination (available in the Local Port
Settings page) as the hot key. See KSX II Local Console Local Port
Settings (on page 252) for more information.
