Exception

Virtual consoles are helpful during an emergency and they can only be reached by physical or other out-of-band access (such as DRAC, iLO, or iKVM). This change can be confusing for system administrators and it is left up to the deployer to complete.

As an alternative, deployers could take action to restrict physical access to server terminals. Out-of-band access mechanisms should be segmented onto their own restricted network and should use centralized authentication.
