Servers connected to the Dominion KX II do not require any software
agents to be installed, because the Dominion KX II connects directly via
hardware to servers' keyboard, video, and mouse ports.
How many servers can be connected to each the Dominion KX II
device?
The Dominion KX II models range from 8, 16, or 32 server ports in a 1U
chassis to 64 server ports in a 2U chassis. This is the industry's highest
digital KVM switch port density.
What happens if I disconnect a server from the Dominion KX II and
reconnect it to another Dominion KX II device, or connect it to a
different port on the same Dominion KX II device?
Dominion KX II will automatically update the server port names when
servers are moved from port to port. Furthermore, this automatic update
does not just affect the local access port, but propagates to all remote
clients and the optional CommandCenter Secure Gateway management
appliance.
How do I connect a serially controlled (RS-232) device to the
Dominion KX II, such as a Cisco router/switch or a headless Sun
server?
If there are only a few serially-controlled devices, they may be connected
to a Dominion KX II using Raritan's new P2CIM-SER serial converter.
However, if there are four or more serially-controlled devices, we
recommend the use of Raritan's KSX II line or SX line of secure console
servers. These devices are easy to use, configure and manage, and can
be completely integrated with a Dominion Series deployment. In
particular, many UNIX and networking administrators appreciate the
ability to directly SSH to a device.
