Chapter 8: Device Management218Creating a Dual Video Port GroupThe dual video port groups feature allows you to group two video portsinto one group.Use this feature when you need to connect to a server with two videocards/ports, and you want to access both ports from the same remoteclient at the same time.Note: Dual port video groups are not supported by models with only oneKVM channel such as KX3-108 and KX3-116 models.Note: Once a dual video port group is created, it is available from thelocal console as well as the remote client. However, extended desktop isnot supported at the local console.Dual video port groups appear on the Port Access page as Dual Porttypes.The primary and secondary ports that are a part of the port group appearon the Port Access page as Dual Port(P) and Dual Port(S), respectively.For example, if the CIM type is DCIM, "DCIM Dual Port (P)" is displayed.Each group must contain a primary port and a secondary port.The configuration applied to the primary port is applied to all secondaryports in the group. If a port is removed from the group, it is considered anindependent port and a new configuration can be applied to it.When you access a dual port video group from the remote client, youconnect to the primary port, which opens a KVM connection window toboth the primary and secondary ports of the dual port group.The sessions can be launched and viewed from the remote client on oneor multiple monitors as needed.The orientation setting configured on the device for the target mustmatch the actual configuration on the target operating system.It is recommended that the connecting client have the same screenorientation whenever possible.Important: Review the information in theDual Video Port Groups(on page 317) section for restrictions, recommendations, and so onthat may impact your specific environment.To create a dual port video group:1. Select Device Settings > Port Group Management. The Port GroupManagement page opens. Any existing port groups are displayed.2. Click Add.
