Chapter 7: Units View Windows

For example, a target device that is only attached to a serial console appliance will not contain a KVM Session link. If a target device has a connection to both a serial console appliance and a KVM switch, a KVM Session link will appear.

As shown in Figure 7.1, other available actions that have been enabled may be accessed by clicking the Alternate Actions arrow to the right of the action with the highest precedence. Clicking on one of the displayed links will launch the corresponding window type.
