Chapter 7: Virtual Media91Using Virtual MediaWith the Dominion KX II virtual media feature, you can mount up totwo drives (of different types). These drives are accessible for theduration of the KVM session.For example, you can mount a specific CD-ROM, use it, and thendisconnect 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 KVMsession is closed.¾To use virtual media:1. Connect/attach the media to the client or network file server that youwant 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.2. Verify that the appropriate prerequisites (see "Prerequisites forUsing Virtual Media" on page 90)are met.3.
