5 Synopsis
Profile Name: Virtual Media
Version: 1.0.0
Organization: Dell
CIM Schema version: 2.17.0
Central Class: DCIM_OEMVirtualMediaService
Scoping Class: CIM_ComputerSystem
The Virtual Media Profile extends the management capabilities of referencing profiles, and provides the
capability to manage virtual media sessions and devices that utilize the USB redirection provided by the
system.
DCIM_OEMVirtualMediaService is the Central Class of this profile. The DCIM_OEMVirtualMediaService
instance is the Central Instance of this profile.
CIM_ComputerSystem is the Scoping Class of this profile. The CIM_ComputerSystem instance, which is
associated to the Central Instance through an instance of CIM_HostedService, is the Scoping Instance of
this profile.
Table 1 identifies profile on which this profile has a dependency.

6 Description (Informative)
The Virtual Media Profile specializes:
• Systems can redirect a locally-emulated USB Device to a physical USB Device, or non-USB
device, present on a remote system using a network session
• Each USB Redirection SAP can have multiple locally-emulated USB devices and / or USB
composite devices.
• Systems can support multiple USB Redirection SAPs concurrently
• An USB Redirection SAP can initiate the connection to the remote system, or listen for a
connection request from the remote system
• USB Redirection SAPs and emulated USB Devices can be added.
A Virtual Media is represented by an instance of DCIM_OEMVirtualMediaService, an instance of
USBRedirectionSAP, and an instance of the CIM_ServiceAccessBySAP association between them.
A Virtual Media can be in an active, inactive, or available state. When the Virtual Media is active, the USB
devices are redirected. Virtual Media state management can be performed by managing the state of the
USB Redirection SAP (as modeled by CIM_USBRedirectionSAP), and the state of the Virtual Media
Service (as modeled by DCIM_OEMVirtualMediaService).
The Virtual Media capabilities are represented by an instance of CIM_USBRedirectionCapabilities
connected to an instance of DCIM_OEMVirtualMediaService by a CIM_ElementCapablities association.
