Connecting Virtual Media Remotely
Virtual media is launched remotely from the KVM switch using the Video Viewer, which may be launched from the web interface or the Network Access Software. With virtual media you can map a physical drive on the local client machine as a virtual drive on a target device. You can also add and map an ISO or diskette image file on the local client as a virtual drive on the target device.
You can have one CD drive and one mass storage device mapped concurrently.
•A CD drive, DVD drive or ISO disk image file is mapped as a virtual CD drive.
•A diskette drive, diskette image file, USB memory device or other media type is mapped as a virtual mass storage device.
