When another user is viewing this target device, a message indicates that the target
device is already involved in a KVM session.
If connection sharing is enabled on the appliance and your access rights (as
compared with those of the primary user) allow it, you are prompted to either share
or preempt the existing session. If the option is available, select Share.
Complete one of the following steps:
•Click OK or Yes. If Automatic Sharing is not enabled, a share request is sent to
the primary user, who can accept the share request as either an active or
passive (read-only) session, or reject the share request entirely.
-or-
•Click No to cancel the share request.
If the primary user accepts the share request, or if Automatic Sharing is enabled, a KVM
session to the target device session opens, and the session type icon within the new
Video Viewer window indicates if the session status is active or passive. If the request is
rejected, a message indicates that the request was denied. Administrators have several
options at this point. They can either try to connect again and preempt the session or
connect in stealth mode, or they can terminate the session entirely from the AMP Status
tab; see “Managing user sessions” on page 82.
