If User B has access to that KVM session (the Reserved option is not enabled),
User B could control the media that is being used in the virtual media session.
In some environments, this might not be desirable.
By using the Reserved option in a tiered environment, only User A can access

lower appliance is reserved for User A.
Preemption levels offer additional flexibility of combinations. See "Preemption
Mode" on page 91.
Launching Virtual Media

virtual media client will allow a user to map a local drive to a virtual drive on the
target server.

click Details, then select the Reserved check box.
There are two devices available for mapping on the target server: a floppy/flash
