A. B. C. D.B.
The solution that the administrator needs to install for controlling servers locally via a console and with a rack mounted solution for easy access is a KVM switch.
A KVM (Keyboard, Video, and Mouse) switch is a hardware device that allows a user to control multiple computers or servers with a single keyboard, video monitor, and mouse. This is a very convenient solution for managing multiple servers from a single console. A KVM switch is also commonly used in server racks where space is limited.
Option A - iDRAC (Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller) is a technology that provides remote management capabilities for Dell servers. While it provides remote access to a server, it does not offer a local console solution or a rack mountable solution.
Option B - KVM (Keyboard, Video, and Mouse) switch is the correct answer. It provides a local console solution and a rack mountable solution for managing multiple servers.
Option C - ILO (Integrated Lights-Out) is a technology that provides remote management capabilities for HPE servers. Like iDRAC, it provides remote access to a server, but it does not offer a local console solution or a rack mountable solution.
Option D - RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) is a software protocol that allows a user to connect to a remote computer over a network connection. It does not provide a local console solution or a rack mountable solution.
Therefore, the best option for the administrator to control servers locally via a console with a rack mounted solution for easy access is a KVM switch.
