Attaching, Auto-Attaching, and Detaching Virtual Media using the Web browser
You can set the status of a virtual media to Attach, Auto-Attach, or Detach.
Based on this status, the devices in the remote system are displayed in the
DRAC 5 GUI.
• Attach —If the status is Attach, DRAC 5 automatically attaches all devices
of the remote system to the server. When you connect to the server, the
devices available in the remote system are displayed in the DRAC 5 GUI.
•
Auto Attach —If the status is Auto Attach, DRAC 5 attaches a device to
the server only if the device is virtualized. For example, when you connect
to the server from a remote machine that has a CD drive, the CD drive is
displayed only if it is virtualized using a CD. Otherwise, the CD drive is
not displayed in the DRAC 5 GUI.
•
Detach —If the status is Detach, virtual device is not displayed in the
server.
