For KX II's, 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 4
blade server chassis. You can of course connect individual servers to the
remaining server ports.
I'm an SMB customer with a few KSX II's. Must I use your CC-SG
management station?
No, you don't have to. SMB customers are not required to use CC-SG to
use the new blade features.
I'm an enterprise customer using CC-SG. Can I access blade
servers via CC-SG?
Yes. Once blade servers are configured on the KSX II, the CC-SG user
can access them via KVM connections. In addition the blade servers are
organized by chassis as well as CC-SG custom views.
What if I want in-band or embedded KVM access?
Yes, in-band and embedded access to blade servers can be configured
within CC-SG.
I'm running VMware on some of my blade servers. Is this
supported?
Yes, with CC-SG you can display and access virtual machines running
on blade servers.
Is virtual media supported?
We support VM on IBM BladeCenter
®
Model H and E with the D2CIM -
DVUSB.
Is Absolute Mouse Synchronization supported?
Servers with internal KVM switches inside the blade chassis typically do
not support absolute mouse technology. For HP Blade and some Dell
blade servers, the CIM is connected to each blade, so absolute mouse is
supported if the underlying OS running on the blade does.
Is blade access secure?
Yes, blade access uses all of the standard KSX II security features such
as 128 bit or 256 bit encryption. In addition, there are blade-specific
security features such as per blade access permissions and hot
key-blocking that eliminates un-authorized access.
