CD-ROM/DVD-ROM/ISO Images

This option mounts CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, and ISO images.

Note: ISO9660 format is the standard supported by Raritan. However, other CD-ROM extensions may also work.

To access a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or ISO image:

1. From the Virtual KVM Client, choose Virtual Media > Connect CD-ROM/ISO Image. The Map Virtual Media CD/ISO Image dialog appears.

   

2. For internal and external CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drives:
   1. Choose the Local CD/DVD Drive option.
   2. Choose the drive from the Local CD/DVD Drive drop-down list. All available internal and external CD and DVD drive names will be populated in the drop-down list.
   3. Click Connect.
3. For ISO images:
   1. Choose the ISO Image option. Use this option when you want to access a disk image of a CD, DVD, or hard drive. ISO format is the only format supported.
   2. Click the Browse button.
   3. Navigate to the path containing the disk image you want to use and click Open. The path is populated in the Image Path field.
   4. Click Connect.
4. For remote ISO images on a file server:
   1. Choose the Remote Server ISO Image option.
   2. Choose Hostname and Image from the drop-down list. The file servers and image paths available are those that you configured using the File Server Setup page. Only items you configured using the File Server Setup page will be in the drop-down list.
   3. File Server Username - User name required for access to the file server.
   4. File Server Password - Password required for access to the file server (field is masked as you type).
   5. Click Connect.

   The media will be mounted on the target server virtually. You can access the media just like any other drive.

Note: If you are working with files on a Linux target, use the Linux Sync command after the files are copied using virtual media in order to view the copied files. Files may not appear until a sync is performed.

Note: If you are working with Windows 7, Removable Disk is not displayed by default in the Window's My Computer folder when you mount a Local CD/DVD Drive or Local or Remote ISO Image. To view the Local CD/DVD Drive or Local or Remote ISO Image in this folder, select Tools > Folder Options > View and deselect "Hide empty drives in the Computer folder".
