192 Using and Configuring Virtual Media
Booting From Virtual Media
On supported systems, the system BIOS enables you to boot from virtual optical
drives or virtual floppy drives. During POST, enter the BIOS setup window
and verify that the virtual drives are enabled and listed in the correct order.
To change the BIOS setting:
1
Boot the managed system.
2 Press <F2> to enter the BIOS setup window.
3 Scroll to the boot sequence and press <Enter>.
In the pop-up window, the virtual optical drives and virtual floppy drives
are listed with the standard boot devices.
4 Ensure that the virtual drive is enabled and listed as the first device with
bootable media. If required, follow the on-screen instructions to modify
the boot order.
5 Save the changes and exit.
The managed system reboots.
The managed system attempts to boot from a bootable device based on
the boot order. If a virtual device is connected and a bootable media is
present, the system boots to the virtual device. Otherwise, the system
overlooks the device—similar to a physical device—without bootable
media.
