• Connection Type – The types of connections that can be made to each server is displayed in parenthesis at the end of each server entry in the list. An entry with “(KVM)” at the end of it can be accessed with a KVM connection only. An entry with “(In-band)” at the end of it can be accessed with an in-band connection only. An entry with “KVM + In-band”) can be accessed with both connection methods. See Determining the Connection Type and its Supported Functionality for more detailed information.
• Server Name or Port Name/Number – The type of connection determines the type of name applied:
• Individual KVM ports are either labelled by the port number in the form Port_# or by an administrator-defined alias, which should describe the type of computer connected to the port or be the actual name of the connected server.
• Individual in-band connections are labelled by an administrator-defined server name, which should identify the type of computer being accessed or be the actual name of the server.Note: A server that is configured for both in-band and KVM connections can have two different aliases configured: one for the KVM port and one for the in-band connection. In this case, the alias that appears in the Connect to Server drop-down list is the alias assigned to the KVM port.
