The Storage option when selected opens the Storage Device dialog
box.

Storage Media Usage Considerations
- The Oracle ILOM Remote System Console Plus application must
be able to control the media device exclusively. No other process or
application on the client can access, use, or probe the media device. If
another process or application is using the media device while attempting
to redirect the media device, the following message appears:
Unable to open the drive exclusively. In
this case, you must wait until the other process is done before you can
attempt to redirect the storage device.
- Supported storage media includes: physical optical drives
(CD/DVD), physical floppy drives, and ISO images, which include
single-session DVD ISO. In addition, USB floppy drives and USB memory
sticks are supported.
- Physical (or ISO) CDs or DVDs can be as large as the media
permits (up to 600 MB for CD, 4.7 GB for DVD). The maximum floppy disk
capacity can be as large as 1.44 MB.
- Successful redirection of auto-detected storage devices
requires that: 1) bootable media is present in the device; and 2)
Administrator (Windows) or root (Linux) privileges on the host client are
enabled to exclusively control the redirected storage device.
- Storage media cannot be physically ejected during
redirection. To change the redirected media, you must disconnect the
redirected device prior to establishing another storage redirection in
the Storage Device dialog box.
- For Linux clients, multiple ISO images will not auto-mount
on the host operating system. For these cases, the ISO images must be
manually mounted upon starting the redirection and then manually
unmounted upon stopping the redirection.
- When you change a floppy disk, you should wait at least 5
seconds after ejecting the floppy to insert the new floppy; otherwise,
the contents of the ejected floppy appear instead of the contents of the
newly inserted floppy.
- If you are installing software from distribution media (for
example, a CD or DVD), ensure that the media is inserted in the local
client redirected drive.
- If you are installing software from an ISO DVD image, ensure
that the ISO DVD image is stored on the local client or on a shared
network file system.

USB Media Usage Considerations
- When redirecting an 8 GB NTFS memory stick on a RHEL 4.8
32-bit client, the client system might take some time to detect and load
the 8 GB NTFS memory stick.
- The Oracle ILOM Remote System Console Plus application must
have full control to the USB device. No other process or application on
the client can access, use, or probe the device while attempting to
redirect the device.
For example, active processes such as
the McAfee Endpoint process running on a Windows 7 client, or the
Hardware Access Layer Daemon (HALD) process running on an Oracle
Solaris client could prevent the Oracle ILOM Remote System Console
Plus from gaining exclusive access to the storage device. If this
occurs, you will likely need to disable (stop) the other process to
permit the Oracle ILOM Remote System Console Plus exclusive access to
the device.
- Windows client users must login in as Administrator to gain
full-control of a local USB device.
- Prior to using the Storage Device dialog box on an SLES11SP1
client, you should use the command line to mount a USB memory stick, or
to remove the mount point for a USB memory stick.
- When redirecting a USB memory stick from a Linux client, the
USB memory stick is not a supported bootable device.

Virtual Keyboard
|
The Virtual Keyboard option opens a Virtual Keyboard dialog box.
By default, the language for the virtual keyboard is English. You can change
the language in the Preference menu (see Preference
Menu Options ).
Virtual Keyboard Usage Consideration
- The Lock key, when enabled, will enable these special keys:
shift, alt, ctrl, context, and windows. To release the special keys,
disable the Lock key.
|
Turn Local Monitor On
-or-
Turn Local Monitor Off
|
The Turn Local Monitor On and Turn Local Monitor Off options
control the display of the local monitor that is attached to the server. By
default, the local monitor option is enabled (or turned on).
|
Take Full-Control
-or-
Relinquish Full-Control
|
The following options enable multiple users to switch between
full-control mode and view-only mode:
-
Take Full-Control – When enabled, this option enables a view-only
user to take full-control over the remote keyboard, mouse, and, if
applicable, the remote storage media. If there is another primary user
connected, the other primary user is forced to view-only mode.
-
Relinquish Full-Control – When enabled, this option enables the
primary user to switch from full-control mode to view-only mode.
Note.If full-control
is either relinquished or taken away while redirecting storage media, the
active storage redirection session will automatically be disconnected, as
well as the session control for the keyboard and mouse.
|
Exit
|
The Exit option closes the Oracle ILOM Remote System Console
Plus session.
