To map a physical drive as a virtual media drive, complete the following
steps:

a.

In the Virtual Media window, select the Mapped check box next to the
drive or drives you want to map.

b.

If you want to limit the mapped drive to read-only access, select the
Read Only check box next to the drive prior to mapping the drive. If
the virtual media session settings were previously configured so that all
mapped drives must be read-only, this check box is already enabled and
cannot be changed.

You might want to select the Read Only check box if the
session settings enabled read and write access, but you want to
limit the access of a particular drive to read-only.

To add and map an ISO or diskette image as a virtual media drive, complete
the following steps:

a.

b.

The Common File Chooser window opens, with the directory
containing disk image files (ending in .iso or .img) visible. Select an ISO
or diskette image file and click Open.

c.

The file header is checked to make sure it is correct. If it is, the
Common File Chooser window closes and the chosen image file opens
in the Virtual Media window, where it can be mapped by selecting the
Mapped check box.

d.

Repeat steps a through c for any additional ISO or diskette images you
want to add. You can add any number of image files (up to the limits
imposed by memory), but you can only have one virtual DVD-ROM or
virtual mass storage mapped concurrently.

mass storage device) or too many drives of a particular type
