Virtual Media dialog box

The following options are available from the Virtual Media dialog box:
•
You can manage the mapping and unmapping of virtual media. The dialog box displays all of the
physical drives on the client server that can be mapped as virtual drives. You can also add ISO and
floppy image files and then map to them using the Virtual Media dialog box. After a device is
mapped, the Virtual Media dialog box Details View displays information about the amount of data
transferred and the time elapsed since the device was mapped.
•
You can reserve the virtual media session. When a session is reserved and the associated KVM
session is closed, another user cannot launch a KVM session to that target device. If a session is not
reserved, another KVM session can be launched.
•
You can reset the USB 2.0 interface adapter. However, this action resets every form of USB media
on the target device. Use this option with caution, and only when the target device is not responsive.
