Using iDRAC6 Virtual Console (Video Viewer)

The iDRAC6 Virtual Console (Video Viewer) provides a user interface between the management station and the managed server, allowing you to see the managed server’s desktop and control its mouse and keyboard functions from your management station. When you connect to the remote system, the iDRAC6 Virtual Console starts in a separate window.

NOTE: You must have administrator privileges to launch a iDRAC6 Virtual Console (Video Viewer).

NOTE: If the remote server is powered off, the message, No Signal, will be displayed.

NOTE: The Virtual Console title bar displays the DNS name or the IP address of the iDRAC you are connected to from the management station. If iDRAC does not have a DNS name, then the IP address is displayed. The format is:

<DNS name / IPv6 address / IPv4 address>, <Model>, User: <username>, <fps>
