Running Virtual Media
The console redirection feature gives the managed server access to media connected to a
remote system on the network. The combination of virtual media and console redirection
enables administrators to perform tasks on the server without being physically present.
The two virtual media types are:
• Optical Drive—Includes CDROM and ISO image files.
• Floppy Drive—Includes diskette/USB drives and diskette images.
For each media type, you can virtualize one drive at a time. This may require that you
disconnect media before connecting to a different source.
NOTE: You must have Access Virtual Media permission to virtualize or disconnect a drive.
Connecting and Disconnecting Virtual Media
Connect to media through the Device menu in the JViewer ( see“Console Redirection”
for directions for accessing the JViewer). Check the box next to the applicable media
type(s).
If you are connecting to a diskette or ISO image, either browse to or enter the path where the
image file resides on your system.
NOTE: Virtual device drive letters on the managed server do not correspond to physical drive letters
on the management station.
To disconnect media, deselect the applicable checkbox.
