Dell iDRAC8 ActiveX Based Virtual Console Session Running on Windows Operating System

– echo "1" > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
• When Pass all keystrokes to server is enabled, the magic SysRq keys are sent to the operating system
on the managed system. The key sequence behavior to reset the operating system, that is reboot
without un-mounting or sync, depends on whether the magic SysRq is enabled or disabled on the
management station:
– If SysRq is enabled on the management station, then <Ctrl+Alt+SysRq+b> or <Alt+SysRq+b>
resets the management station irrespective of the system’s state.
– If SysRq is disabled on the management station, then the <Ctrl+Alt+SysRq+b> or <Alt+SysRq
+b>keys resets the operating system on the managed system.
– Other SysRq key combinations (example, <Alt+SysRq+k>, <Ctrl+Alt+SysRq+m>, and so on) are
passed to the managed system irrespective of the SysRq keys enabled or not on the management
station.
