Accessing a remote console
A powerful feature when using iDRAC is the ability to open a remote console from which you can enter commands to LiveWire.
To open a remote console:
NOTE: The Plug-in Type was changed to ‘HTML5’ from the default of ‘Native’ for the instructions in this section. To change the Plug-in Type, click Settings in the Virtual Console Preview.
1. From the iDRAC dashboard, click Launch Virtual Console. The LiveWire login window appears.
