Console Mirroring
Console mirroring allows a person on a local ASCII terminal to monitor the Service Processor activities of a remote user. Console mirroring ends when the Service Processor releases control of the serial ports to the system firmware.
System Configuration:
ŸService Processor
Ÿ Modem connected to one serial port and enabled for incoming calls
Ÿ Local | ASCII terminal connected to | the other serial port. This local terminal may |
be | connected directly to your | server or connected through another modem. |
There are two scenarios in which console mirroring can be invoked:
1. Remote session first, then local session added
a. Remote session already in progress.
b. Remote user uses the Service Processor menus to enable console mirroring, allowing both consoles to be active.
2. Local session first, then remote session added
a. Local session is already in progress.
b. The Service Processor receives a call from the remote user.
c. The local user selects the option to enable console mirroring. The Service Processor immediately begins mirroring Service Processor menus.
Note: A quick disconnect is accomplished by hitting the key sequence Ctrl+D on either console. Both sessions will exit the Service Processor menus.
