Windows 2000 Composite USB Device Behavior for Virtual Media 
The Windows 2000
®
 operating system does not support USB composite 
devices, like Raritan‟s D2CIM-VUSB, in the same manner as 
non-composite USB devices.   
As a result, the “Safely Remove Hardware” system tray icon does not 
appear for drives mapped by the D2CIM-VUSB and a warning message 
may appear when disconnecting the device.    Raritan has not observed 
any problems or issues from this message, however. 
Raritan‟s US engineering department has developed a configuration 
which supports the “Safely Remove Hardware” icon and avoids this 
Windows message.    This configuration requires the use of the 
D2CIM-DVUSB virtual media adapter and the Troubleshooting 3 USB 
Profile, which configures the D2CIM-DVUSB as a non-composite USB 
device supporting a single virtual media connection.    Raritan has 
successfully tested this configuration in the US and Japan. 
 
 
Virtual Media 
Virtual Media Not Refreshed After Files Added 
After a virtual media drive has been mounted, if you add a file(s) to that 
drive, those files may not be immediately visible on the target server. 
Disconnect and then reconnect the virtual media connection.
