If User B has access to that KVM session (the Reserved option is not enabled),
User B could control the media that is being used in the virtual media session.
In some environments, this might not be desirable.
By using the Reserved option in a tiered environment, only User A can access

lower appliance is reserved for User A.
Preemption levels offer additional flexibility of combinations. See "Preemption
Mode" on page 93.
Launching Virtual Media
Virtual media is launched remotely from the appliance using the Viewer, which
may be launched from the on-board web interface or the RCS software. The
virtual media client will allow a user to map a local drive to a virtual drive on the
target server.

click Details, then select the Reserved check box.
There are two devices available for mapping on the target server: a floppy/flash
