Right forum for questions on HP IP-based KVM's?

[Vague Assumption]

Does anybody know whether the names given to the systems connected to the KVM (and seen in the OSD) are stored in the dongle? I mounted a new KVM and was surprised to see the names of the servers of which this KVM was innocent, staring at me from the OSD.

I have other questions, too.

Yes it is stored in the dongle.

I don't know much aboute it, but I do know that.

But I believe that i should change, as soon as it get a new node name, fom the host.

Thanks, man.

[gregersenj]

You're welcome.

Did you try it?

And did it change?

I accomplished what I needed, in terms of inventorying and labeling the KVM cables. I didn't try switching the dongles between wires, though, to see if the name would stay when the dongle were in the circuit between the kvm and a different server.

If you have to reuse a dongle, for another server, in the future, you will see if I'm reight or wrong.

Yes, I will try to keep you in mind.

Yes, I had to move a dongle from one server to another this afternoon. I didn't change the port on the KVM into which it was plugged -- just plugged the wire into anoher server.

So it might have been the KVM port, remaining the same.

[gregersenj]

Didn't it change the server name?

It will have to under stand the servername from the OS (And maybe the ILo).

I will try and ask, in the new year.
Could a colleage know.
