Adding a virtual media device

The LO100 virtual media option provides you with a virtual media drive, which can direct a remote host
server to boot and use standard media from anywhere on the network. Virtual media devices are
available while the host system boots.

To add a new virtual media device, click Add on the Virtual Media page. The Add Virtual Media window
appears. This window has the following options:

The Look In list enables you to change your directory or drive.

The Virtual Media Type list enables you to specify the file type that you want to share. You must
declare a Virtual Media Type before LO100 recognizes they type of device it is sharing.

The File Name textbox is the shared name of the image.

Select a value from the Files of Type list to select the files you want to share.

Shared virtual media devices

You can share a virtual media device from the Storage Devices window. Only one device may be shared
at a time.
