Using virtual media

With virtual media you can map a physical drive on the local client machine as a
virtual drive on a target device. You can also add and map an ISO or diskette
image file on the local client as a virtual drive on the target device.
You can have one DVD-ROM drive and one mass storage device mapped
concurrently.
• A CD/DVD-ROM drive, or ISO disk image file is mapped as a virtual DVD
drive.
• A diskette drive, diskette image file, USB memory device, or other media type
is mapped as a virtual mass storage device.
Requirements
Virtual media is supported on KVM s4 switches.
The target device must be connected to the KVM s4 switch with a VMC adapter
cable.
The target device must support the types of USB2-compatible media that you
virtually map. In other words, if the target device does not support a portable USB
memory device, you cannot map the local device as a virtual media drive on the
target device.
You (or the user group to which you belong) must have permission to establish
virtual media sessions or reserved virtual media sessions to the target device.
A KVM s4-1622 will support up to two concurrent virtual media sessions
(including local and remote). A KVM s4-3242 will support up to four concurrent
virtual media sessions (including local and remote). Only one virtual media
session can be active to a target device at one time.
Sharing and preemption considerations
The KVM and virtual media sessions are separate; therefore, there are many
options for sharing, reserving or preempting sessions.
For example, the KVM and virtual media sessions can be locked together. In this
mode, when a KVM session is disconnected, so is the associated virtual media
session. If the sessions are not locked together, the KVM session can be closed
but the virtual media session remains active.
