Configuring and Using Virtual Media 267
To connect a floppy image or ISO image, enter the path to the image
location on your local computer, or click the
Browse button to navigate to
the image location.
NOTE: You may not be able to mount remote ISO images if you use the Java
based Virtual Media plug–in. For example, Linux clients will not allow you to
mount the images since they use the Java based plug–in. To avoid this, copy
the ISO image to your local system to make the image file available locally.
The Java based Virtual Media plug–in does not allow you to specify the share
name using \\computer\share format.
