read-only. When the access mode is read-only, you cannot write data to the
mapped drive on the client computer. When the access mode is not set as
read-only, you can read and write data from or to the mapped drive. If the
mapped drive is read-only by design (for example, certain CD drives, DVD
drives, or ISO images), the configured read-write access mode is ignored.
Setting the read-only mode can be helpful when a read-write drive such as
a mass storage device or a USB removable media is mapped, and you want
to prevent the user from writing data to it.
• Encryption level - You can configure up to three encryption levels for
virtual media sessions. Any combination is valid. The choices are: AES,
DES, 3DES, and 128-bit RC4 (ARCFOUR) SSL encryptions. The highest
level selected is used. The default is no encryption (no encryption levels
selected).
Reserving a Virtual Media Session
A virtual media session can also be reserved to allow only a specified user
name or administrator to access or close a session. If you want to continue a
virtual media session after the KVM session is closed, you can reserve the
virtual media session. If the virtual media session is reserved, it will remain
active when the associated KVM session is closed.
To reserve a virtual media session:
On the Virtual Media window, click Details and select the Reserve check box.
