Remotely exporting a disk drive to the host

1 On the remote system, log into the ALIF 2112T using the VNC viewer.

2 Press F8 and then V to display a Virtual Media dialog box:

Remote Drive(s)

This section lists any located

storage devices on the

remote system that are 2GB

or less, and which could be

copied en masse to the host

computer, if desired.

Remote Files or Folders

Click Browse to search for

and select single or multiple

les/folders to be copied to

the host computer.

When the Create ISO Image

option is ticked this creates

a bootable disk so that it’s

possible to boot the host

computer from the virtual

media drive.

3 You can select an entire drive or a disk image (e.g. .iso) le:

• Select a disk drive: Click the checkbox adjacent to the listed disk drive that you

wish to make available to the host computer,

• Add a Disk Image File: Select the disk image le and click Open.

4 In the Virtual Media dialog box, click the OK button to announce the availability of the

drive to the host computer. On the host computer, the new drive will appear in the

same way as any removable drive would on your computer.

Note: Remember, at this point the selected drive has not yet been transferred to the host

system, it is just visible there.

5 On the host computer (either directly or via the VNC viewer) locate the new virtual

drive (shown as a Removable Disk) and copy the les to the required location on the

host computer.

Note: The Remote File or Folder section of this Virtual Media dialog box provides yet another

method of creating a virtual drive from some les or folders, as described above.
