Number of Supported Virtual Media Drives
Connecting and Disconnecting from Virtual Media
With the virtual media feature, you can mount up to two drives (of
different types) that are supported by the USB profile currently applied to
the target. These drives are accessible for the duration of the KVM
session.
For example, you can mount a specific CD-ROM, use it, and then
disconnect it when you are done. The CD-ROM virtual media "channel"
will remain open, however, so that you can virtually mount another CD-
ROM. These virtual media "channels" remain open until the KVM session
is closed as long as the USB profile supports it.
To use virtual media, connect/attach the media to the client or network
file server that you want to access from the target server.
This need not be the first step, but it must be done prior to attempting to
access this media.
Access a Virtual Media Drive on a Client Computer
To access a virtual media drive on the client computer:
1. From the Virtual KVM Client, choose Virtual Media > Connect Drive,
or click the Connect Drive... button
Drive dialog appears.
2. Choose the drive from the Local Drive drop-down list.
If you want Read and Write capabilities, select the Read-Write
checkbox.
This option is disabled for nonremovable drives. See the
