Closing a virtual media session
To close the Virtual Media dialog box:
1. Click Exit.
2. If you have any mapped drives, a message is displayed, indicating that the drives will be
unmapped. Confirm or cancel the operation.
If a user attempts to disconnect a virtual media session or an active KVM session that has an
associated locked virtual media session, a confirmation message is displayed, indicating that
any virtual media mappings will be lost.
See Sharing and preemption considerations on page 320 and Active Sessions on page 198 for
information about other factors that may affect virtual media session closings.
Using Smart Cards
You can connect a smart card reader to the client server and access attached target devices on a
supported KVM switch system. You can then launch a KVM session to open the Video Viewer
and map a smart card.
NOTE: To specify smart card session and mapping options for Video Viewer sessions, see Video Viewer session
properties on page 289.
The smart card status is indicated by the smart card icon at the far right of the Video Viewer
toolbar. The following table describes the smart card status icons.

readers, or smart card access is disabled in the DSView software.
