Summary:A remote management system is coupled to a target information handling system so that a virtual device on the remote system can transmit information such as software, data, applications and upgrades to the target system. The target system includes a local real device such as a media drive which is switchably coupled to a channel of the target system. Upon command from the remote management system the target system switches the channel from a connection with the local real device to a connection with the remote virtual device. Software installations by a remote operator at the remote system are thus facilitated. In this manner the channel is shared between the local real device and the remote virtual device.
