Intel® Server Board S2600CO Family TPS
Advanced Management Features Support (RMM4)
Revision 1.4
81
Intel order number G42278-004
Either IDE (CD-ROM, floppy) or USB devices can be mounted as a remote device to the
server.
It is possible to boot all supported operating systems from the remotely mounted device
and to boot from disk IMAGE (*.IMG) and CD-ROM or DVD-ROM ISO files. See the
Tested/supported Operating System List for more information.
Media redirection shall support redirection for a minimum of two virtual devices
concurrently with any combination of devices. As an example, a user could redirect two
CD or two USB devices.
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. An Integrated BMC reset (for example, due to an Integrated BMC reset after
Integrated 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.
7.2.1
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.
7.2.2
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
