NOTE:
You must have Access Virtual Media permission to virtualize or disconnect a drive.
NOTE:
You can enable virtual media for one floppy/drive image and one CD/DVD drive/image. Only one

virtualize a device click in the checkbox in the Mapped column of the table. The device maps to
the server at this point. To unmap, deactivate the checkbox. With writable devices you also have
the option of mapping them as read only. To do this, select the Read Only checkbox for the device
before it is mapped. ISO and floppy images can be added by clicking Add Image... and then
selecting the image file with the dialog that is displayed. The image is added to the list of available
devices. The Details button displays a panel that list the virtual devices and also displays read/write
activity for each device.

particular drive. Mapped drives can be limited to read only capability by checking the Read Only

management station to control the corresponding devices on a remotely managed system. You can
run a maximum of four simultaneous console redirection sessions.
NOTE:
The recommended display resolution on the managed system is at least 1280 x 1024 pixels at 60
