vADC Console
The vADC console feature provides console access to individual vADCs from a centralized monitor, and allows you to easily switch between the vADCs in the platform.
The vADC console is enabled by default for versions 31.0 fresh installation and higher, or for upgrades from versions 31.X and higher.
When upgrading from earlier versions, the vADC console is disabled. In order to enable it run the command /c/sys/vconsole on the VX console. (This requires applying, saving the configuration, and rebooting the platform.)
This feature is available using Linux terminal emulation.
An example with PuTTY Configuration is shown below.
Only one console session (to the VX or one of the vADCs) should be connected simultaneously. If more sessions are opened, the console display may corrupt.
Note: The recommended console screen resolution is 80 x 24. If your screen resolution is different, or you changed the screen resolution settings after the console was opened, it takes up to 15 seconds until the console display adjusts to the new resolution settings. (This occurs even if you drag the console window to another monitor with a different resolution.)
Use the following key combination to switch between the vADC consoles:
CTRL+B, N - goes to the next vADC console window.
CTRL+B, P - goes to previous vADC console window.
CTRL+B, <terminal slot number> - goes to the specified vADC console window.
For slots large than 10, press CTRL+B, ' and, when prompted, enter the slot number.)
CTRL+B, 0 - goes to the base VX console window.
Entering CTRL+B, W - presents a list of active vADCs and their console slot numbers.
Note: The slot numbers are determined according the order the vADCs were activated (enabled), and not according to the vADC ID.
