Port Action Menu - KVM and Serial Ports

When you click a port name on the Port Access page, the Port Action menu is displayed. Please note that only options available for the selected port are listed in the Port Action menu.

The following table contains the possible menu options available in the Port Action menu. Note that the options vary slightly between KVM and serial ports:

Menu item

Description

KVM

Serial

Connect

Creates a new connection to the target server.

For a KVM remote target, a new Virtual KVM Client window is opened and for a serial connection the Raritan Serial Console window will open.

For the Dominion KSX Local Console, the display switches to the target server and switches away from the local user interface. On the local port, the Dominion KSX Local Console interface must be visible in order to perform the switch.

Switch From

Switches from an existing connection to the selected port (KVM target server). This menu item is available only for KVM targets and is visible only when a virtual KVM client is opened.

Note: This menu item is not available on the Dominion KSX Local Console.

Ö

 

Disconnect

Disconnects the port and closes the Virtual KVM Client window for the target server or, for serial connections, the Raritan Serial Console window for the target server. This menu item is available only for targets to which you are currently connected. If another user is connected to the port, this will not be a menu option.

Note: This menu item is not available on the Dominion KSX Local Console. The only way to disconnect from the switched target in the Local Console is to use the hot key.
