Intel® Remote Management Module 4 and Integrated BMC Web Console User Guide Remote Console (KVM) Operation 6.3.5 Remote Console Device Menu Figure 49: Remote Console Device Menu This menu option allows starting/stopping remote media redirection. The first two options allow you to redirect either a local CDROM/DVD drive or else an ISO image on your local client file system as a virtual CDROM device on the remote system. The third option allows you to redirect either a local floppy drive or local USB key drive. The fourth option allows you to redirect a floppy or USB Key .img file on your local client file system as a virtual floppy device on the remote system. Note: When trying to attach a local floppy or local USB key drive, if it is in use by the operating system or any other application it will fail to attach. With Microsoft Windows 2008*, Microsoft Windows Vista*, Microsoft Windows 2008 R2*, and Microsoft Windows 7* if a "Windows Explorer" GUI is opened after the USB Key has been installed in the local system, you may not be able to attach the USB Key as remote media. With Microsoft Windows 2003*, and Microsoft Windows XP* if a "Windows Explorer*" GUI is opened after the USB Key has been installed in the local system and you then browse through the USB Key, you may not be able to attach the USB Key as remote media. The virtual devices act just like any other CDROM/DVD or floppy on the remote system. They can be read, written (assuming they are not read-only), and booted. The pair of virtual devices only appears on the remote OS or BIOS setup menus when some media redirection is active. The virtual devices persist across remote system resets and power up/downs. They do not disappear from the remote system until the checkboxes are unchecked in the Remote Console window. Note: The virtual devices are not limited to normal floppy/CDROM sizes and will be as large as the device or file being redirected. A USB Key drive is redirected as a virtual floppy device rather than a USB device to allow the loading of custom device drivers during remote OS installation which may require a floppy drive. There is only one virtual CDROM and one virtual floppy device on the remote system allowed so only one local item of each type can be redirected at a time. Only one Remote Console window can be doing media redirection at any given time. Revision 2.4 57

Remote Console Device Menu
Figure 49: Remote Console Device Menu
This menu option allows starting/stopping remote media redirection. The first two options allow
you to redirect either a local CDROM/DVD drive or else an ISO image on your local client file
system as a virtual CDROM device on the remote system. The third option allows you to
redirect either a local floppy drive or local USB key drive. The fourth option allows you to
redirect a floppy or USB Key
.img
file on your local client file system as a virtual floppy device
on the remote system.
Note
: When trying to attach a local floppy or local USB key drive, if it is in use by the operating
system or any other application it will fail to attach.
With Microsoft Windows 2008*, Microsoft Windows Vista*, Microsoft Windows 2008 R2*, and
Microsoft Windows
7* if a “Windows Explorer” GUI is opened after the USB Key has been
installed in the local system, you may not be able to attach the USB Key as remote media.
With Microsoft Windows 2003*, and
Microsoft Windows XP* if a “Windows Explorer
*
” GUI is
opened after the USB Key has been installed in the local system and you then browse through
the USB Key, you may not be able to attach the USB Key as remote media.
The virtual devices act just like any other CDROM/DVD or floppy on the remote system. They
can be read, written (assuming they are not read-only), and booted. The pair of virtual devices
only appears on the remote OS or BIOS setup menus when some media redirection is active.
The virtual devices persist across remote system resets and power up/downs. They do not
disappear from the remote system until the checkboxes are unchecked in the Remote Console
window.
Note
: The virtual devices are not limited to normal floppy/CDROM sizes and will be as large as
the device or file being redirected. A USB Key drive is redirected as a virtual floppy device
rather than a USB device to allow the loading of custom device drivers during remote OS
installation which may require a floppy drive.
There is only one virtual CDROM and one virtual floppy device on the remote system allowed so
only one local item of each type can be redirected at a time. Only one Remote Console window
can be doing media redirection at any given time.
