Virtual Media

Local media - Virtual media sessions that use devices attached directly to

the USB port of an appliance.

Remote media - Virtual media sessions that use devices attached directly

to the client computer.

Locked - A virtual media session that is associated with a specified KVM

session. If the KVM session is closed, the virtual media session will end.

(For example, if the KVM session is preempted, closed by a user, or

stopped when the screen saver starts, the appliance will close the

associated virtual media session). However, closing a locked virtual media

session will not close the corresponding KVM session.

Reserved - A virtual media session that can only be accessed or closed by a

specified user name or an administrator. If both Locked and Reserved are

selected, the session will be reserved.

Configuring Virtual Media Locally

The local port administrator (which is anyone that has access to the local user

port) will be able to enable or disable virtual media on any server connected

to a USB2 SIP. This control will be maintained in the appliance after a power

cycle.

Enabling/Disabling Virtual Media Using the OSCAR Interface

Local administrators can enable or disable virtual media on any server on a

per SIP basis. This control is also maintained in the appliance after a power

cycle.
The VMedia Setup dialog box displays the name of each virtual media SIP, as

well as a checkbox that controls whether virtual media is enabled or disabled

for that individual SIP. If a virtual media session is currently active, the user

letter will be displayed in blue to the right of the checkbox.

NOTE:

Before disabling virtual media on a server, the local user must first

disconnect any active virtual media sessions via the Commands - User Status

screen.
