Shared virtual media devices
You can share a virtual media device from the Storage Devices window. Only one device may be shared
at a time.
To share a virtual media device, do the following:
1. On the Virtual KVM menu, select Storage. The Storage Devices window appears.
2. Click Add. A dialog box appears, enabling you to specify which device you would like to share.
3. In the File Name field, enter either the file name or the drive you want to share. If you are sharing a
drive, enter a colon (:) after the drive letter.
4. In the Storage Type dropdown list, select the storage type that matches the selected resource and
click Select.
You must have valid media in the drive if a removable media device type is selected. The selected
device displays in the dialog box.
5. Select the device and click Connect. A message box appears, indicating either the device has been
successfully connected or a problem has occurred.
6. Click OK to close the Storage Device window.
To remove a shared virtual media device, do the following:
Before removing a shared device, verify the device is safe to remove. If necessary, perform any required
steps necessary to ensure the safe removal of removable media devices on the server.
1. On the Virtual KVM menu, select Storage. The Storage Devices window appears, displaying all
previously added devices currently available.
2. Select the device you want to remove and click Remove. A dialog box appears, indicating that the
device has been successfully disconnected.
3. Click OK to close the Storage Device window.
Accessing the remote console through telnet
You can access the remote console through either the BIOS console text-redirection functionality or a
Windows Server® 2003 text-based console. Only one Remote Console window can be open at a time.
To start a remote console session, press the Esc+Q keys. To end a remote console session and return to the
CLP press the Esc+( keys.
NOTE: When entering any ESC key sequences, extra characters might be buffered, causing
the remote side to receive function key presses incorrectly. To avoid this issue and perform
function key or alternate key sequences, press and hold the ESC key, release it, and then press
the other key sequence.
To change the timeout settings for telnet and for the remote console use Linux raw IPMI commands or an
oemhp command through telnet. The following examples disable timeout:
• Linux IPMI tool Raw command example:
ipmitool raw 0x0c 0x01 0x02 0xf6 0x00 0x00
• Disabling the security timeout using telnet example:
oemhp i 20 30 b0 18 00 01 02 f6 00 00 ef
The expected response is:
