Appendix D: Informational Notes138Virtual Media Linux Drive Listed TwiceFor KX III, users who are logged in to Linux™ clients as root users, thedrives are listed twice in the Local Drive drop-down.For example, you will see eg /dev/sdc and eg /dev/sdc1 where the firstdrive is the boot sector and the second drive is the first partition on thedisk.Accessing Virtual Media on a Windows 2000A virtual media local drive cannot be accessed on a Windows 2000®server using a D2CIM-VUSB.Disconnecting Mac and Linux Virtual Media USB DrivesIn a Linux® or Mac® environment: For Linux users, if there is /dev/sdb and /dev/sdb1, the client onlyuses /dev/sdb1 and advertise it as removable disk /dev/sdb is not available for the user. For Linux users, if there is /dev/sdb but no /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdb isused as a removable device For Mac users, /dev/disk1 and /dev/disk1s1 is usedTarget BIOS Boot Time with Virtual MediaThe BIOS for certain targets may take longer to boot if media is mountedvirtually at the target.To shorten the boot time:1. Close the Virtual KVM Client to completely release the virtual mediadrives.2. Restart the target.Virtual Media Connection Failures Using High Speed for VirtualMedia ConnectionsUnder certain circumstances it may be necessary to select the "Use FullSpeed for Virtual Media CIM" when a target has problems with "HighSpeed USB" connections or when the target is experiencing USBprotocol errors caused by signal degradation due to additionalconnectors and cables (for example, a connection to a blade server via adongle).
