Figure 4.4: Video Viewer Virtual Media Dialog Box
To map a virtual media drive:
1. Open a virtual media session from the Video Viewer menu by selecting Tools - Virtual Media.
2. To map a physical drive as a virtual media drive:
a. In the Virtual Media dialog box, click the Mapped checkbox next to the drive(s) you wish to map.
b. If you wish to limit the mapped drive to read-only access, click the Read Only checkbox next to the
drive. If the virtual media session settings were previously configured so that all mapped drives must be
read only, this checkbox will already be enabled and cannot be changed.
You might wish to enable the Read Only checkbox if the session settings enabled read and
write access, but you wished to limit a particular drive’s access to read only.
3. To add and map an ISO or floppy image as a virtual media drive:
a. In the Virtual Media dialog box, click Add Image.
b. The common file dialog box will appear, with the directory containing disk image files (that is, those
ending in .iso or .img) displayed. Select the desired ISO or floppy image file and click Open.
-or-
If the client server’s operating system supports drag-and-drop, select the desired ISO or floppy
image file from the common file dialog box and drag it onto the Virtual Media dialog box.
c. The file’s header is checked to ensure it is correct. If it is, the common file dialog box will close and the
chosen image file will appear in the Virtual Media dialog box, where it can be mapped by clicking the
Mapped checkbox.
d. Repeat steps a through c for any additional ISO or floppy images you wish to add. You may add any
number of image files (up to the limits imposed by memory), but you may only have one virtual CD or
DVD or virtual mass storage mapped concurrently.
If you attempt to map too many drives (one CD or DVD and one mass storage device) or too many
drives of a particular type (more than one CD or DVD or mass storage device), a message will be
displayed. If you still wish to map a new drive, you must first unmap an existing mapped drive, then
map the new drive.
