Fix - Cisco UCS - Virtual Media redirection is already in use by another user

While performing an ESXi install on one of the Cisco UCS Blades, I received the following error:


I confirmed that no other users were using the UCS KVM, rebooted the blade from within the ESXi OS and through UCS Central etc.

To resolve this issues log into UCS Manger.  Then from the Equipment tab select the server exhibiting this behavior:


From the Servers General tab, select Recover Server and select Reset CIMC.  Resetting the CIMC will not cause a disruption of service.


That's it, I was then able to launch the KVM and attach Virtual Media.
