200 Using and Configuring Virtual Media
where <device-name> is a valid drive letter (for Windows systems) or a
valid device file name, including the mountable file system partition number,
if applicable (for Linux systems); and <image-file> is the filename and
path of a valid image file.
This parameter specifies the device or file to supply the virtual floppy/disk media.
For example, an image file is specified as:
-f c:\temp\myfloppy.img (Windows system)
-f /tmp/myfloppy.img (Linux system)
If the file is not write-protected, Virtual Media may write to the image file.
Configure the operating system to write-protect a floppy image file that
should not be overwritten.
For example, a device is specified as:
-f a:\ (Windows system)
-f /dev/sdb4 # 4th partition on device /dev/sdb (Linux
system)
If the device provides a write-protection capability, use this capability to
ensure that Virtual Media will not write to the media.
Additionally, omit this parameter from the command line if you are not
virtualizing floppy media. If an invalid value is detected, an error message
displays and the command terminates.
CD/DVD Device or Image File
-c {<device-name> | <image-file>}
where <device-name> is a valid CD/DVD drive letter (Windows systems)
or a valid CD/DVD device file name (Linux systems) and <image-file> is
the file name and path of a valid ISO-9660 image file.
This parameter specifies the device or file that will supply the virtual
CD/DVD-ROM media:
For example, an image file is specified as:
-c c:\temp\mydvd.img (Windows systems)
-c /tmp/mydvd.img (Linux systems)
