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 Virtual Console viewer window application must remain active while

you access the virtual media.

Open a supported Web browser on your management station.

Click the

Virtual Console/Media

tab.

The

Virtual Console and Virtual Media

screen is displayed.

Floppy Emulation Indicates whether the Virtual Media is displayed as a

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

Emulation is selected, the Virtual Media device is

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

deselected, it is displayed as a USB Key drive.

NOTE: On certain Windows Vista and Red Hat

Enterprise Linux environments, you may not be able to

virtualize a USB with Floppy Emulation enabled.

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.
