Sending a message to a controlling console

This topic describes how the user at the controlling console can send a message to another user.

This task applies to the following configurations only:
  • Local console that is directly attached with remote access allowed
  • Remote console through dial-up support

While using Operations Console, you might need to communicate with the user who has control of the server. Operations Console allows a local console and a remote console to exchange messages when connected. Only the user that does not have control can initiate a message. For more information about server control, see Server control.

To send a message to the user who has control, perform the following steps:

  1. Select the configuration name from the Operations Console Connection window.
  2. From the Connection menu, click Send Message.
  3. Type the message.
  4. Click Send.
At this time, the receiver can reply by typing a response and clicking Reply.
