Shared virtual media devices

at a time.
To share a virtual media device, do the following:

2. Click Add. A dialog box appears, enabling you to specify which device you would like to share.
3. In the File Name field, enter either the file name or the drive you want to share. If you are sharing a
drive, enter a colon (:) after the drive letter.
4. In the Storage Type dropdown list, select the storage type that matches the selected resource and
click Select.
You must have valid media in the drive if a removable media device type is selected. The selected
device displays in the dialog box.
5. Select the device and click Connect. A message box appears, indicating either the device has been
successfully connected or a problem has occurred.
6. Click OK to close the Storage Device window.

previously added devices currently available.

Accessing the remote console through telnet
You can access the remote console through either the BIOS console text-redirection functionality or a
Microsoft® Windows Server™ 2003 text-based console. Only one Remote Console window can be open
at a time.
