Chapter 3: Virtual Media
85
Virtual media extends KVM capabilities by enabling target servers to
remotely access media from the client PC and network file servers. With
this feature, media mounted on the client PC and network file servers is
essentially mounted virtually by the target server. The target server can
then read from and write to that media as if it were physically connected
to the target server itself. Virtual media can include internal and USB-
mounted CD and DVD drives, USB mass storage devices, PC hard
drives, and ISO images (disk images).

Virtual media provides the ability to perform additional tasks remotely,
such as:
such as:
• transferring files
• running diagnostics
• installing or patching applications
• complete installation of the operating system

This expanded KVM control eliminates most trips to the data center,
saving time and money, thereby making virtual media very powerful.
