Virtual Media
All KX II models support virtual media. The benefits of virtual media -
mounting of remote drives/media on the target server to support software
installation and diagnostics - are now available in all of the KX II models.
Each KX II comes equipped with virtual media to enable remote
management tasks using the widest variety of CD, DVD, USB, internal
and remote drives and images. Unlike other solutions, the KX II supports
virtual media access of hard drives and remotely mounted images for
added flexibility and productivity.
Virtual media sessions are secured using 128-bit AES or RC4
encryption.
The D2CIM-VUSB CIM and D2CIM-DVUSB (computer interface module)
support virtual media sessions to KVM target servers supporting the USB
2.0 interface. These CIMs also support Absolute Mouse
Synchronization™ as well as remote firmware update.
Note: The black connector on the DVUSB CIM is used for keyboard and
mouse. The gray connector is used for virtual media. Keep both plugs of
the CIM connected to the device. The device may not operate properly if
both plugs are not connected to the target server.
