Mounting Local Drives

Supported Tasks Via Virtual Media

This option mounts an entire drive, which means the entire disk drive is
mounted virtually onto the target server.
Use this option for hard drives and external drives only. It does not
include network drives, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM drives.
Notes on Mounting Local Drives
KVM target servers running the Windows XP
accept new mass storage connections after an NTFS-formatted partition
(for example, the local C drive) has been redirected to them.
If this occurs, close the Remote Console and reconnect before
redirecting another virtual media device. If other users are connected to
the same target server, they must also close their connections to the
target server.
Virtual media provides the ability to perform tasks remotely, such as:

Transferring files

Running diagnostics

Installing or patching applications

Complete installation of the operating system

Record and playback of digital audio
Important: Once you are connected to a virtual media drive, do not
change mouse modes in the KVM client if you are performing file
transfers, upgrades, installations or other similar actions. Doing so may
cause errors on the virtual media drive or cause the virtual media drive to
fail.
