Managing remote servers through the Video Session Viewer
95
You might want to enable the
Read Only
checkbox if the session settings enabled read and write
access, but you wanted to limit a particular drive's access to read only.
Unmapping a Virtual Media drive
In the Video Session viewer window, using the appropriate procedure for the target server's operating
system, perform an eject operation on the Virtual Media device.
Adding and mapping to an .iso or floppy image as Virtual Media drive
1.
In the Virtual Media window, click
Add Image.
The common file chooser window appears with the directory containing disk image files (that is,
those ending in
.iso
or
.img
) displayed.
2.
Select an .iso or floppy image file, and click
Open.
The file's header is verified to be sure it is correct. If it is, the common file chooser window closes
and the chosen image file opens in the Virtual Media Session window, where it can be mapped by
clicking
Mapped.
3.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for any additional .iso or floppy images you want to add. You can add any
number of image files, up to the limits imposed by memory, but you can have only one virtual CD or
virtual mass storage mapped concurrently.
If you attempt to map too many drives (one CD and one mass storage device) or too many drives of
a particular type (more than one CD or mass storage device), a message appears. If you still want to
map a new drive, you must first unmap an existing mapped drive, and then map the new drive.
After a physical drive or image is mapped, it can be used on the server.
