storage components of the RKVMS functionality. The remote devices are presented to the Sun Fire server by JavaRConsole and ILOM
as virtualized local devices.
JavaRConsole captures keyboard and mouse input on the management console and directs it to ILOM. ILOM then transmits these
keyboard and mouse inputs over the USB ports to the AMD-8111 aI/O Hub and to the Sun Fire server. The Sun Fire server interprets
these inputs as originating from local USB devices.
JavaRConsole is also capable of presenting remote bootable storage to ILOM and the Sun Fire server. The remote storage can be
either physical storage devices or bootable media image files on the hard drive. Several types of remote storage are supported:
• CD/DVD-ROM
• Floppy
• CD/DVD-ROM image (.iso files)
• Floppy image (.img files)
When the Sun Fire X4100 M2 or X4200 M2 server attempts to access a Virtual Floppy or Virtual CD-ROM as set up in the BIOS, ILOM
redirects this access request to the JavaRConsole. JavaRConsole then accesses the virtual disk content from the management con-
sole's physical CD/DVD-ROM drive, physical floppy drive, or from a disk image on the hard drive. ILOM virtualizes this remote storage
to the Sun Fire server using the USB ports connected to the AMD-8111 I/O Hub. The Virtualized storage is recognized by the Sun Fire
server as local USB connected storage and enables remote operating system boot up and installation.
