Configuring and Using Virtual Media 233

Running Virtual Media

CAUTION: Do not issue a racreset command when running a Virtual Media

session. Otherwise, undesirable results may occur, including data loss.

NOTE: The Console Viewer window application must remain active while you

access the virtual media.

Open a supported Web browser on your management station.

Click the

Console/Media

tab.

The

Console Redirection and Virtual Media

screen appears.

To change the values of any of the displayed attributes, see "Configuring

Virtual Media."

NOTE: The Floppy Image File under Floppy Drive (if applicable) may appear,

as this device can be virtualized as a virtual floppy. You can select one optical

drive and one floppy at the same time, or a single drive.

NOTE: The virtual device drive letters on the managed server do not coincide

with the physical drive letters on the management station.

Floppy Emulation Indicates whether the Virtual Media appears as a

floppy drive or as a USB key to the server. If Floppy

Emulation is selected, the Virtual Media device

appears as a floppy device on the server. If it is

deselected, it appears as a USB Key drive.

Enable Boot Once Enables (checked) or disables (not checked) the

boot-once option, which automatically terminates the

Virtual Media session after the server has booted once.

Use this attribute to boot from the Virtual Media. On

the next boot, the system will boot from the next

device in the boot order. This option is useful for

automated deployments.
