Getting CIMC Started
Initial Setup
This is an overview of how to setup CIMC network connectivity for UCS C−Series servers.
KVM Features
Overview of KVM features:
Cisco C−Series Rack Servers provides a physical local video and two usb connections for a usb
keyboard, video monitor, and usb mouse connection through the front panel of the Rack Server using
the Cisco provided dongle connector.
1.
All Rack Servers can have up to 4 active KVM over IP sessions in addition to the local connection at
front or rear panels. All active sessions have full control of the console
2.
KVM over IP supports text and graphics modes of the graphics controller and needs no manual setting
to view data
3.
Graphics modes supported are up to the video chips maximum capabilities of 1600 x 1200 with 16 bit
color.
4.
KVM sessions over Linux may, depending on Linux distribution, require mouse configuration
5.
If KVM responsiveness seems slow; many factors such as network bandwidth latency can effect this.
Reducing the color depth and resolution can improves the responsiveness.
6.
Remote KVM shows exactly what is on the video. This is not a serial terminal view but rather a
pixel by pixel rendition
7.
If recording the session is desired you can use utilities on the local client such as webex or other
screen capture applications.
8.
If text logging of keystrokes is desired use SOL (Serial Over Lan) features and a terminal program to
capture the text.
