154 Configuring and Using Virtual Media
To modify how the virtual floppy appears to the operating system (as a
super-floppy drive or hard drive), use the racadm command to reconfigure the
cfgFloppyEmulation object.
NOTE: In the Windows Control Panel, Dell VSF and Dell Virtual VCD identify the
Virtual Floppy and Virtual CD-ROM, respectively.
Configuring the Virtual Floppy Feature as a Super Floppy
To configure your operating system to identify your virtual floppy as a super
floppy starting with drive letter A, change the cfgFloppyEmulation
object setting to 1.
For example:
racadm config -g cfgRacVirtual -o cfgFloppyEmulation 1
The DRAC 4 IDE Option ROM utility displays the following string during
system restart:
DELL-VIRTUALS-120 Removable Media Drive

To configure your operating system to identify your virtual floppy as a hard
drive starting with drive letter C, change the cfgFloppyEmulation
object setting to 0.
For example:
racadm config -g cfgRacVirtual -o cfgFloppyEmulation 0
