Virtual media session settings

4.14.2 Virtual media session settings
Virtual media session settings include locking, mapped drives access mode, and
encryption level. See "Configuring Global Virtual Media settings" on page 66 to specify
these settings for the supported KVM s3-1621 and KVM s3-1641 appliances.
Table 6 lists and describes the virtual media session settings.
Setting Description
Locked The Locked setting specifies whether a virtual media session is locked
to the KVM session on the target device. When locking is enabled
(which is the default) and the KVM session is closed, the virtual media
session also closes. When locking is disabled and the KVM session is
closed, the virtual media session remains active.
Mapped You can set the access mode for mapped drives to read-only. When
drives access the access mode is read-only, you cannot write data to the mapped
mode drive on the client computer. When the access mode is not set as
read-only, you can read and write data from or to the mapped drive.
If the mapped drive is read-only by design (for example, certain CD
drives, DVD drives, or ISO images), the configured read-write access
mode is ignored.
Setting the read-only mode can be helpful when a read-write drive
such as a mass storage device or a USB removable media is mapped,
and you want to prevent the user from writing data to it.
Encryption You can configure up to three encryption levels for virtual media
level sessions. Any combination is valid. The choices are: DES, 3DES and
128-bit SSL. The highest level selected is used. The default is no
encryption (no encryption levels selected).
