dikkiedirk Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I have 2 unraid servers running on Supermicro boards with IPMI. I like to run the IPMI KVM console in Supermicro's IPMIviewer software. This works, I see the console and type commands. I can also start Midnight Commander, but can only control it by keyboard, not like in Putty also by mouse like clicking the commands in the bottom line. Can this mouse functionality also work in IPMI KVM? Can someone give me tips on how to set this up? I have IPMIviewer installed on a laptop with mousepad. Quote Link to comment

I think you have to install mouse support in unraid itself for this to work, either in the kernel or with a package, possibly if you could find a slack package for gpm it might do the trick. No experience actually doing this, I just googled a little. Quote Link to comment
dikkiedirk Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 I thought it would be some setting in IPMI KVM. MC in Putty can be controlled by mouse. Quote Link to comment
jonp Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I'll have to test this on a super micro system I have at home when I get back from this trip. I'll report back... Quote Link to comment
