KVM Console
The KVM console is an interface accessible from Cisco IMC that emulates a direct keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) connection to the server. The KVM console allows you to connect to the server from a remote location.
Instead of using CD/DVD or floppy drives physically connected to the server, the KVM console uses virtual media, which are actual disk drives or disk image files that are mapped to virtual CD/DVD or floppy drives. You can map any of the following to a virtual drive:
-
CD/DVD or floppy drive on your computer
-
Disk image files (ISO or IMG files) on your computer
-
USB flash drive on your computer
-
CD/DVD or floppy drive on the network
-
Disk image files (ISO or IMG files) on the network
-
USB flash drive on the network
You can use the KVM console to install an OS on the server.
Note |
The KVM Console is operated only through the GUI. To launch the KVM Console, see the instructions in the Cisco UCS C-Series Servers Integrated Management Controller GUI Configuration Guide. |
