204 Using GUI Virtual ConsoleThe following rules apply to a Virtual Console session:• A maximum of four simultaneous Virtual Console sessions are supported.All sessions view the same managed server console simultaneously.• From 1.5 release version onwards, multiple sessions to multiple remoteservers is possible from the same client, based on the order in which theyare opened. If a Virtual Console session using Java plug-in is open, you canopen another Virtual Console session using ActiveX plug-in. However, if aActiveX based Virtual Console session is open, then another VirtualConsole session using Java plug-in cannot be opened. You must close thefirst Virtual Console session to open a second Virtual Console session.• A Virtual Console session should not be launched from a Web browser onthe managed system.• A minimum available network bandwidth of 1 MB/sec is required.• The first Virtual Console session to the iDRAC6 is a full access session. If asecond user requests a Virtual Console session, the first user is notified andis given the option (approve, reject, or allow as read-only) to send a sharingrequest to the second user. The second user is notified that another userhas control. When the first user has not responded for each subsequentuser’s sharing request within a timeout of 30 seconds, Virtual Consoleaccess is granted based on the value set for thecfgRacTuneVirtualConsoleAuthorizeMultipleSessionsobject. This object is irrespective of the plug-in type (ActiveX or Java) setto be used in the second/third/fourth session.
