Using Virtual Media in a two-level cascade configuration

For Virtual Media to work properly in a two-level cascade configuration, you must have an HP Server Console Switch with Virtual Media or an HP IP Console Switch with Virtual Media as the main console switch and an HP Server Console Switch with Virtual Media as the secondary console switch. You must also have an interface adapter with Virtual Media connecting each server to the console switch. For more information on cascading, see "Cascading console switches (on page 23)."
