268 Configuring and Using Virtual Media
Why are all my USB devices
detached after I connect
aUSBdevice?
Virtual Media devices and vFlash devices are
connected as a composite USB device to the Host
USB BUS, and they share a common USB port.
Whenever any Virtual Media or vFlash USB device
is connected to or disconnected from the host USB
BUS, all the Virtual Media and vFlash devices will
be disconnected momentarily from the host USB
bus, and then they will be connected again. If a
Virtual Media device is being used by the host
operating system, you must avoid attaching or
detaching one or more Virtual Media or vFlash
devices. It is recommended that you connect all the
required USB devices first before using them.
What does the USB Reset
button do?
It resets the remote and local USB devices
connected to the server.
How do I get the maximum
performance from Virtual
Media?
To get the maximum performance from Virtual
Media, launch the Virtual Media with the Virtual
Console disabled or do one of the following:
• Reduce the video resolution and color depth of
the Virtual Console screen to minimum possible.
•Disable encryption for both Virtual Media and
Virtual Console.
NOTE: In this case, the data transfer between
managed server and iDRAC for Virtual Media and
Virtual Console will not be secured.
• If you are using any Windows server operating
systems, stop the Windows service named
Windows Event Collector. To do this, go to
Start
>
Administrative Tools
>
Services
. Right-click
on
Windows Event Collector
and click
Stop
