● For optimum operating system desktop visualization with one or more physical monitors attached,
HP recommends that you set duplicate monitors at the operating system level.
NOTE: The cursor might not behave as expected on the lock screen for this configuration due to
operating system limitations.
Using the mouse
See the following recommendations for using the mouse during a KVM session.
● Mouse movements and button presses are sent to the remote host. In the default mode, both the
local and remote mouse cursors are visible. You can turn on the pointer lock mode by clicking the
Pointer Lock icon in the toolbar. This mode hides your local cursor and moves the remote
cursor using relative coordinates, which might be required by some applications, for example, some
BIOS interfaces.
● If the remote cursor does not move, HP recommends that you use the pointer lock mode feature in
the toolbar. To exit pointer lock mode, press the esc key. When you are in fullscreen mode, press and
hold the esc key for two seconds to exit pointer lock mode.
Mounting a virtual drive using Virtual Media
You can use the Virtual Media functionality to mount a drive image, such as ISO files, and present it to
the host as if it were physically attached. This drive can be used as a boot target by the BIOS, making it
useful for reimaging the host workstation.
Using Virtual Media
Follow the steps in the following sections to use an image file as a virtual media in the host.
Choosing a Virtual Media Mode
You choose between these modes for accessing the contents of an image file.
● Upload an image file to the RSC internal storage.
● Instruct the RSC to download a file from a network location.
● Streaming a file from a network location.
NOTE: RSC supports only HTTPS as the location for either mode.
The RSC has limited internal storage: The maximum file size for the download and upload methods is 4.7
GB. Larger files should use the streaming option.
Mounting the file
Follow this procedure to mount an image from the file menu.
