Port Access Page
After successfully logging on to the Dominion KX II Remote Console, the
Port Access page appears. This page lists all of the Dominion KX II
ports, the connected KVM target servers, and their status and
availability. The Port Access page provides access to the KVM target
servers connected to the Dominion KX II. KVM target servers are servers
that you want to control through the Dominion KX II device. They are
connected to the Dominion KX II ports at the back of the device.
Note: For each connection to a KVM target server, a new Virtual KVM
Client page is opened.
Also displayed on the Port Access page are blade chassis that have
been configured in the Dominion KX II. The blade chassis is displayed in
an expandable, hierarchical list on the Port Access page, with the blade
chassis at the root of the hierarchy and the individual blades labeled and
displayed below the root.
Note: To view the blade chassis in a hierarchal order, blade-chassis
subtypes must be configured for the blade server chassis.
By default, the View by Port tab will be displayed on the Port Access
page. The View by Group tab displays the same information as the View
by Ports tab, however, ports are arranged based on existing port group
assignment.
To use the Port Access page:
1. From the Dominion KX II Remote Console, click the Port Access tab.
The Port Access page opens.
The KVM 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 Dominion KX II device. Note that ports
connected to power strips will not be among those listed,
resulting in gaps in the Port Number sequence.
Port Name - The name of the Dominion KX II port. Initially, this is
set to Dominion-KX2-Port# but you can change the name to
something more descriptive. When you click a Port Name link,
the Port Action Menu appears.
Note: Do not use apostrophes for the Port (CIM) Name.
Status - The status for standard servers is either up or down.
Type - The type of server or CIM. For blade chassis, the type can
be Blade Chassis, Blade, BladeChassisAdmin, and
BladeChassisURL.
