Configuring the Optional iKVM Switch Module

Enabling iKVM Access to the Dell CMC Console

Enabling access to the CMC allows you to access the CMC directly and securely through the iKVM’s CMC Console option. To enable the CMC Console using the Web-based interface:

1Log in to the CMC Web-based interface.

2Select iKVM in the system tree. The iKVM Status page is displayed.

3Click the Setup tab. The iKVM Configuration page is displayed.

4Select Allow access to CMC CLI from iKVM.

5Click Apply to save the setting.

Updating the iKVM Firmware

NOTE: The iKVM resets and becomes temporarily unavailable after the firmware has been uploaded successfully.

1Log in to the CMC’s Web-based interface. See "Logging in to the CMC Using the Web-Based Interface" on page 31.

2Select Chassis in the system tree.

3Click the Update tab. The Updatable Components page is displayed.

4Click the iKVM name. The Firmware Update page is displayed.

5In the Value field, type the path on your management station or shared network where the firmware image file resides, or click Browse to navigate to the file location.

NOTE: The default iKVM firmware image name is ikvm.bin. However, the iKVM firmware image name can be renamed. If you are unable to locate ikvm.bin, determine whether another user has renamed the file.

6Click Update. A dialog box appears asking you to confirm the action.

7Click Yes to continue.

When the update is complete, the iKVM resets.
