Joe_Liston Polling frequency of OMSA 1 Jun 2 2009, 11:03 AM EDT by KongY@Dell
Thread started: Jun 2 2009, 8:42 AM EDT  Watch
Is there a way to modify the polling frequency of OMSA's Instrumentation service? Version in use is 6.01 on Windows Server 2008/2003 as well as SLES 10.

Quick question on the R710 we just got. the idrac card, I see it works over the current nic cards, which is totally cool. How do I remote kvm through the card like we use to do on the drac5 cards? I dont see that option when I use the web browser to get into the server.
