installation of an operating system or patches, you may require remote media to
connect a CD-ROM or diskette to the server. The RSA II offers the ability to make
available a local diskette, CD-ROM, or image to a remote server and have that
server treat the devices as though they were a local USB-attached device. See
Figure 6-16 on page 323.
Figure 6-18 RSA II Web interface: remote control
Using remote media enables USB support after the server is powered up and the
RSA II is initialized. During installation of the operating system or in the operating
system support, USB is required. The correct setting for earlier USB support has
can be done in the RSA II Settings menu, shown in Figure 6-14 on page 320.
Tip: You can mount more than one remote drive concurrently. This means you
may add a CD-ROM and a disk drive to your remote managed server, or use
ISO and diskette image files.
Remote media works with the following operating systems:
Windows Server 2003
Windows Server 2008 64bit
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 4, but not for OS installation
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 5, but not for OS installation
SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9, but not for OS installation
SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10, but not for OS installation
VMware ESX 3i v3.5
VMware ESX 3.5
A Java run-time is required, which can be downloaded from:
http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
Tip: We recommend to use at least SDK 1.4.2_06, or 1.5.0_10. We have
concerns with the use of remote control features from builds v1.6.0, which
were available at the time of writing this book.
