selection in the Map Virtual Media CD/ISO Image dialog.
Note: You cannot access a remote ISO image via virtual media using an
IPv6 address due to technical limitations of third-party software used by
the KX2.
Using Virtual Media
With the Dominion KX II virtual media feature, you can mount up to two
drives (of different types) that are supported by the USB profile currently
applied to the target. These drives are accessible for the duration of the
KVM session.
For example, you can mount a specific CD-ROM, use it, and then
disconnect it when you are done. The CD-ROM virtual media “channel”
will remain open, however, so that you can virtually mount another CD-
ROM. These virtual media “channels” remain open until the KVM session
is closed as long as the USB profile supports it.
To use virtual media:
1. Connect/attach the media to the client or network file server that you
want to access from the target server. This need not be the first step,
but it must be done prior to attempting to access this media.
