Local Drives

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. This is the only option for which Read/Write is
available.
To access a drive on the client computer:
1. From the Virtual KVM Client, choose Virtual Media > Connect Drive.
The Map Virtual Media Drive dialog appears. ()
2. Choose the drive from the Local Drive drop-down list.
3. If you want Read and Write capabilities, select the Read-Write
checkbox. This option is disabled for nonremovable drives. See the
Conditions when Read/Write is Not Available
more information. When checked, you will be able to read or write to
the connected USB disk.
WARNING: Enabling Read/Write access can be dangerous!
Simultaneous access to the same drive from more than one entity
can result in data corruption. If you do not require Write access,
leave this option unselected.
4. Click OK. The media will be mounted on the target server virtually.
You can access the media just like any other drive.
