Virtual Media Linux Drive Listed Twice
For KX II 2.4.0 (and later) and LX 2.4.5 (and later), users who are logged
in to Linux
™
clients as root users, the drives are listed twice in the Local
Drive drop-down.
For example, you will see eg /dev/sdc and eg /dev/sdc1 where the first
drive is the boot sector and the second drive is the first partition on the
disk.

/dev/sdb is not available for the user.
For Linux users, if there is /dev/sdb but no /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdb is
used as a removable device
For Mac users, /dev/disk1 and /dev/disk1s1 is used
Target BIOS Boot Time with Virtual Media
The BIOS for certain targets may take longer to boot if media is mounted
virtually at the target.
To shorten the boot time:
1. Close the Virtual KVM Client to completely release the virtual media
drives.
2. Restart the target.
Virtual Media Connection Failures Using High Speed for Virtual
Media Connections
Under certain circumstances it may be necessary to select the "Use Full
Speed for Virtual Media CIM" when a target has problems with "High
Speed USB" connections or when the target is experiencing USB
protocol errors caused by signal degradation due to additional
connectors and cables (for example, a connection to a blade server via a
dongle).
