Operating Features; Target Device Naming - Fujitsu control 4 0812 User Manual

From the Explorer Devices list, you can select a device from the list of target
devices and start a KVM session with the device. Starting a KVM session brings
up a Video Viewer. From the Explorer Appliances list, you can select a switch to
configure.
Video Viewer
Users access and manage target devices through the Video Viewer. You can use
predefined macros and choose which macro group is displayed on the Video
Viewer Macros menu. You can open the Video Viewer to connect to target
devices on KVM s4 switches. For more details, see "About the Video Viewer" on
page 41
The Video Viewer also provides access to the Virtual Media window. You can
use the Virtual Media window to map a physical drive, such as a disk, CD-ROM,
or DVD-ROM data drive, onto a target device so that the media device is
available to the target device even though it is not directly connected. For more
information on the Virtual Media window, see "Using virtual media" on page 60.

Target device naming

The KVM s4 client software requires that each switch and target device have a
unique name. To minimize the need for operator intervention, the software uses
the following procedure to generate a unique name for a target device whose
current name conflicts with another name in the database.
During background operations (such as an automated operation that adds or
modifies a name or connection), if a name conflict occurs, the conflicting name is
automatically made unique. This is done by appending a tilde (~) followed by an
optional set of digits. The digits are added in cases where adding the tilde alone
does not make the name unique. The digits start with a value of one and are
incremented until a unique name is created.
During operations, if you or another user specifies a non-unique name, a
message informs the corresponding user that a unique name is required.
