Windows 2000 Composite USB Device Behavior for Virtual Media
The Windows 2000 operating system does not support USB composite
devices, like Raritan’s D2CIM-VUSB, in the same manner as
non-composite USB devices.
As a result, the “Safely Remove Hardware” system tray icon does not
appear for drives mapped by the D2CIM-VUSB and a warning message
may appear when disconnecting the device. Raritan has not observed
any problems or issues from this message, however.
Raritan’s US engineering department has developed a configuration
which supports the “Safely Remove Hardware” icon and avoids this
Windows message. This configuration requires the use of the
D2CIM-DVUSB virtual media adapter and the Troubleshooting 3 USB
Profile, which configures the D2CIM-DVUSB as a non-composite USB
device supporting a single virtual media connection. Raritan has
successfully tested this configuration in the US and Japan.
Virtual Media
Virtual Media Not Refreshed After Files Added
After a virtual media drive has been mounted, if you add a file(s) to that
drive, those files may not be immediately visible on the target server.
Disconnect and then reconnect the virtual media connection.
