Remote Access Device Management

The root object for the RADM data model is the radm.KvmManager interface which can be found at the well-known URI /radm/kvmmanager. The KvmManager object holds following objects and corresponding retrieved methods:

• One KVM device (KvmDevice): getKvmDevice
• A number of KVM channels (KvmChannel): getKvmChannels
• Power Supplies (PowerSupply): getPowerSupplies
• Power device manager (PowerDeviceManager): getPowerDeviceManager
• DSAM device manager (DsamDeviceManager): getDsamDeviceManager
• Port group manager (PortGroupManager): getPortGroupManager

All data models for device and port have a similar set of properties:

• Metadata: Static (immutable) data describing the object, like labels, unique identifier and index. Can be retrieved with the getMetaData method.
• Settings: User-configurable settings like custom names. Can be retrieved with getSettings and written with setSettings.

Relationships Between Objects

Objects in the KvmManager model are associated in various ways:

• The KvmDevice holds following objects: lists of KVM ports: getKvmPorts list of local monitors: getLocalMonitors local port: getLocalPort
• The PowerDeviceManager holds list of power devices: getPowerDevices
• Each power device holds list of outlets: getOutletPorts
• The DsamDeviceManager holds list of DSAM devices: getDsamDevices
• Each DSAM device holds list of serial ports: getSerialAccessPorts

KVM Security Settings

KVM security setting can be retrieved with getSecuritySettings via the KvmManager object.

KVM security settings controls following features or functions:

• pcShare: enable/disable PC share
• pcShareIdleTimeout: idle timeout in seconds when existing keyboard/mouse user gives control to other users
• controlPriority: set if local or remote has higher priority on keyboard/mouse operation, or no preferring
• vmShare: enable/disable Virtual Media sharing
• kvmEncryption: enable/disable encryption on KVM and virtual media transfer
• resetPinMode: set device reset mode when holding reset pin
• sshDpa: enable/disable Direct Serial Port Access via SSH
• urlDpa: enable/disable Direct Port Access via URL
• allowIFrame: enable/disable iframe embedded in other web page

# Python example: Get KVM security settings and display
from xeruskvm.rpc import radm
 
kvm_mgr = radm.KvmManager("/radm/kvmmanager", agent)
sec_settings = kvm_mgr.getSecuritySettings()
print(sec_settings)

Reading device state and port status

Get device state for power device and DSAM device

# Python example: Get state for powers devices and DSAM devices
from xeruskvm.rpc import radm
 
kvm_mgr = radm.KvmManager("/radm/kvmmanager", agent)
power_devices = kvm_mgr.getPowerDeviceManager().getPowerDevices()
 
for pow_dev in power_devices.values():
    print(pow_dev.getName())
    print(pow_dev.getState())
 
dsam_devices = kvm_mgr.getDsamDeviceManager().getDsamDevices()
 
for dsam_dev in dsam_devices:
    print(dsam_dev.getName())
    print(dsam_dev.getState())
