Chapter 4: Virtual Media

Prerequisites for Using Virtual Media 
With the KX II-101 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. 
The following conditions must be met in order to use virtual media:  
KX II-101 
• 
For users requiring access to virtual media, the KX II-101 device 
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. 
• 
If you want to use PC-Share, Security Settings must also be enabled 
in the Security Settings page. Optional  
Client PC 
• 
Certain virtual media options require administrative privileges on the 
client PC (for example, drive redirection of complete drives). 
Note: If you are using Microsoft Vista, turn User Account Control off: 
Control Panel > User Accounts > User Account Control > turn off. 
If you would prefer not to change Vista account permissions, run 
Internet Explorer as an administrator. To do this, click the Start 
Menu, locate IE, right-click it and select Run as Administrator. 
Target Server 
• 
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. 
 
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.
