 Media redirection supports redirection for both a virtual CD device and a virtual
Floppy/USB device concurrently. The CD device may be either a local CD drive or else
an ISO image file; the Floppy/USB device may be a local Floppy drive, a local USB
device, or a disk image file.
 The media redirection feature supports multiple encryption algorithms, including RC4
and AES. The actual algorithm that is used is negotiated with the client based on the
client’s capabilities.
 A remote media session is maintained even when the server is powered-off (in standby
mode). No restart of the remote media session is required during a server reset or
power on/off. A BMC reset (for example, due to an BMC reset after BMC FW update) will
require the session to be re-established.
 The mounted device is visible to (and useable by) managed system’s OS and BIOS in
both pre-boot and post-boot states.
 The mounted device shows up in the BIOS boot order and it is possible to change the
BIOS boot order to boot from this remote device.
 It is possible to install an operating system on a bare metal server (no OS present)
using the remotely mounted device. This may also require the use of KVM-r to
configure the OS during install.
USB storage devices will appear as floppy disks over media redirection. This allows for the
installation of device drivers during OS installation.
If either a virtual IDE or virtual floppy device is remotely attached during system boot, both the
virtual IDE and virtual floppy are presented as bootable devices. It is not possible to present
only a single-mounted device type to the system BIOS.
5.5.8.1 Availability
The default inactivity timeout is 30 minutes and is not user-configurable. Media redirection
sessions persist across system reset but not across an AC power loss or BMC reset.
5.5.8.2 Network Port Usage
The KVM and media redirection features use the following ports:
 5120 – CD Redirection
 5123 – FD Redirection
 5124 – CD Redirection (Secure)
 5127 – FD Redirection (Secure)
 7578 – Video Redirection
 7582 – Video Redirection (Secure)
