out of the corresponding session.
Can a new remote console video
session be started when the local video
on the server is turned off?
Yes.
Why does it take 15 seconds to turn off
the local video on the server after
requesting to turn off the local video?
It gives a local user an opportunity to take
any action before the video is switched off.
Is there a time delay when turning on
the local video?
No, once a local video turn ON request is
received by iDRAC6 the video is turned on
instantly.
Can the local user also turn off the
video?
Yes, a local user can use the local RACADM
CLI to turn off the video.
Can the local user also turn on the
video?
No. Once the local console is disabled, the
local user’s keyboard and mouse are disabled
and they are unable to change any settings.
