Prerequisites for Using Virtual Media
Mounting Local Drives
KX II-101-V2 Virtual Media Prerequisites
For users requiring access to virtual media, the KX II-101-V2
permissions must be set to allow access to the relevant ports, as well
as virtual media access (VM Access port permission) for those ports.
Port permissions are set at the group-level.
A USB connection must exist between the device and the target
server.
If you want to use PC-Share, Security Settings must also be enabled
in the Security Settings page. Optional
You must choose the correct USB profile for the KVM target server
you are connecting to.
Remote PC VM Prerequisites
Certain virtual media options require administrative privileges on the
remote PC (for example, drive redirection of complete drives).
Note: If you are using Microsoft Vista or Windows 7, disable User
Account Control or select Run as Administrator when starting
Internet Explorer. To do this, click the Start Menu, locate IE, right-
click and select Run as Administrator.
Target Server VM Prerequisites
KVM target servers must support USB connected drives.
KVM target servers running Windows 2000 must have all of the
recent patches installed.
USB 2.0 ports are both faster and preferred.
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.
