96xxx | Using the Viewerxxx

If User B has access to that KVM session (the Reserved option is not enabled),

User B could control the media that is being used in the virtual media session.

In some environments, this might not be desirable.

By using the Reserved option in a tiered environment, only User A can access

the lower appliance and the KVM channel between the upper appliance and

lower appliance is reserved for User A.

Preemption levels offer additional flexibility of combinations. See "Preemption

Mode" on page 91.

Launching Virtual Media

Virtual media is launched remotely from the appliance using the Viewer, which

may be launched from the on-board web interface or the RCS software. The

virtual media client will allow a user to map a local drive to a virtual drive on the

target server.

To launch virtual media from the RCS software:

1 Launch the Viewer from the software. (See "Using the Viewer" on page 61

for more information.)

2 Select Tools - Virtual Media.

3 If you want to make this a reserved session, on the Virtual Media window

click Details, then select the Reserved check box.

There are two devices available for mapping on the target server: a floppy/flash

drive or a CD/DVD drive. The virtual media client allows one of each to be

mapped at a time. Alternatively, the virtual media client will also allow a floppy

image (*.img) file or a CD image (*.iso) file to be mapped to a virtual device.

The virtual media interface consists of three main areas: the Floppy Drive

section, the CD/DVD section, and the Status section. If the virtual media

session is locked to a KVM session, there will be a locked icon at the top right

of the virtual media client screen.
