FusionServer Tools
Independent Remote Console User Guide 1 Overview

1 Overview

The independent remote console is a remote control tool developed based on the
Huawei server management software iBMC and iMana 200. It plays the same
functions as Remote Control provided by the WebUI. This tool allows you to
remotely access and manage a server, without worrying about the compatibility
between the client's browser and the JRE.
This document uses the independent remote console for the iBMC as an example.

Basic Principle
Figure 1-1 shows the basic principle of the independent remote console.

Figure 1-1 Basic principle

Compatibility
The independent remote console can run in an environment that meets the
requirements listed in Table 1-1.

Logging In to a Server Using the
Independent Remote Console (Windows)

Scenarios
Use the independent remote console to remotely access a server from a client
running Windows.

Prerequisites
Conditions
The client (for example, a PC) is connected to the iBMC management network
port of the server to be accessed.
Data
● iBMC management network port IP address and port number
● User name and password for logging in to the iBMC
Software
You have downloaded the independent remote console software package to the
client (PC) and decompressed it.

Procedure
Step 1 Configure an IP address for the client (PC) to enable communication between the
client and the iBMC. That is, the IP address configured and the iBMC management
network port IP address must be in the same network segment.
Step 2 Double-click KVM.exe.
The independent remote console interface is displayed, as shown in Figure 2-1.

Step 3 Enter the network address, user name, and password.

The network address can be in any of the following formats:
● iBMC [IPv6 address]:Port number or iBMC IPv4 address:Port number
For example, [fc00::64]:444 or 192.168.100.1:444
● iBMC domain name address:Port number

● The iBMC versions earlier than V228 only support logins of local users. The iBMC V228 and
later versions support logins of local and LDAP domain users.
● For the versions earlier than iBMC V228, Port number indicates the RMCP+ service port
number. For iBMC V228 and later versions, Port number indicates the HTTPS service port
number.
● The IPv6 address must be included in square brackets ([ ]), for example, [fc00::64]:444. Do
not include the IPv4 address, for example, 192.168.100.1:444.
● If the default port number is used, you do not need to enter the port number.

Step 4 Select the login mode, and click Connect.

● Shared Mode: allows two users to access and manage a server at the same
time. The two users can see each other's operations.
● Private Mode: allows only one user to access and manage a server.
