If the VM Host administrator sets up a Virtual FileDVD for the virtual machine, the virtual
console options to eject and insert are used to select among the ISO files provided in the file
directory for the Virtual FileDVD. The eject command changes the Virtual FileDVD into a
Virtual NullDVD device. ISO files can be added to or removed from the file system directory for
the Virtual FileDVD by the VM Host administrator. Once this ISO file directory is updated, use
an insert command to view all the newly available ISO files in the directory and to choose one
to be used for a new Virtual FileDVD. It is not necessary to change the file directory between
each eject and insert operation. The guest administrator can change the ISO files provided in the
file directory without any VM Host administrator interaction. For example:
# diskinfo /dev/rdsk/c1t7d0
