Virtual Media
Dell OptiPlex and Dimension Computers
From certain Dell OptiPlex ™ and Dimension computers, it may not be
possible to boot a target server from a redirected drive/ISO image, or to
access the target server BIOS when a virtual media session is active
(unless the Use Full Speed for Virtual Media CIM option is enabled from
the Port page).
Note: ISO9660 format is the standard supported by Raritan. However,
other CD-ROM extensions may also work.
Accessing Virtual Media on a Windows 2000 Server Using a
D2CIM-VUSB
A virtual media local drive cannot be accessed on a Windows 2000 ®
server using a D2CIM-VUSB.
Virtual Media Not Refreshed After Files Added
After a virtual media drive has been mounted, if you add a file(s) to that
drive, those files may not be immediately visible on the target server.
Disconnect and then reconnect the virtual media connection.
Target BIOS Boot Time with Virtual Media
The BIOS for certain targets may take longer to boot if media is mounted
virtually at the target.
To shorten the boot time:
1. Close the Virtual KVM Client to completely release the virtual media
drives.
2. Restart the target.
Virtual Media Connection Failures Using High Speed for Virtual
Media Connections
Under certain circumstances it may be necessary to select the "Use Full
Speed for Virtual Media CIM" when a target has problems with "High
Speed USB" connections or when the target is experiencing USB
protocol errors caused by signal degradation due to additional
connectors and cables (for example, a connection to a blade server via a
dongle).
