Using Virtual Media

With the Dominion KX II 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:

You must choose the correct USB profile for the KVM target server
you are connecting to.

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.
