Before You Begin
To access the KVM console for a server through the KVM Launch Manager, you need the following:
• Cisco UCS username and password.
• Name of the service profile associated with the server for which you want KVM access.
Procedure
Step 1
In your web browser, type or select the web link for Cisco UCS Manager GUI.
Example:
The default web link is http://UCSManager_IP or https://UCSManager_IP . In a standalone
configuration, UCSManager_IP is the IP address for the management port on the fabric interconnect. In a
cluster configuration, UCSManager_IP is the IP address assigned to Cisco UCS Manager.
Step 2
On the Cisco UCS Manager launch page, click Launch KVM Manager.
Step 3
If a Security Alert dialog box appears, click Yes to accept the security certificate and continue.
Step 4
On the UCS - KVM Launch Manager Login page, do the following:
a) Enter your Cisco UCS username and password.
b) (Optional) If your Cisco UCS implementation includes multiple domains, select the appropriate domain
from the Domain drop-down list.
c) Click OK.
Step 5
In the Service Profiles table of the KVM Launch Manager, do the following:
a) Locate the row containing the service profile and associated server for which you need KVM access.
b) In the Launch KVM column for that server, click Launch.
The KVM console opens in a separate window.
If the Caps Lock key on your keyboard is on when you open a KVM session, and you subsequently
turn off your Caps Lock key, the KVM console may continue to act as if Caps Lock is turned on.
To synchronize the KVM console and your keyboard, press Caps Lock once without the KVM
console in focus and then press Caps Lock again with the KVM console in focus.
