Using Virtual Media

With the Dominion KX II virtual media feature, you can mount up to
two drives (of different types). 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.

Note: Target servers running Windows will not accept any new medium after
making a virtual media connection to an NTFS partition, until the device is
disconnected.

To use virtual media:

1. 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.

2. Verify that the appropriate prerequisites (see "Prerequisites for

Using Virtual Media" on page 87)are met.

3. (File server ISO images only) If you plan to access file server ISO

images, identify those file servers and images through the Dominion
KX II Remote Console File Server Setup page (see "File Server Setup
(File Server ISO Images Only)" on page 92).

4. Open a KVM session with the appropriate target server.

5. Connect to the virtual media.
