Chapter 4: Virtual Media

110

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.
