Configuring Virtual Media Remotely

Virtual media can also be configured using the on-board web interface. The

on-board web interface includes options similar to those in the OSCAR

interface. Users 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.

Enabling/Disabling Virtual Media Using the On-board Web Interface

The on-board web interface virtual media configuration screen displays the

EID, name, and connection path of each virtual media SIP, as well as a check

box that controls whether virtual media is enabled or disabled for that

individual SIP.

Mass Storage

Allows virtual media sessions to the first detected mass storage

drive. Enable this checkbox to establish a virtual media mass storage

connection to a server. Disable to end a virtual media mass storage

connection to a server.

Write Access

Allows a target server to write data to the virtual media during a

virtual media session. Read access is always allowed during a virtual

media session.
