Adding virtual media images

You can create a media image of the remote folder and mount it as a USB attached device to the server’s operating system. To add Virtual Media images:
  1. Click Virtual Media > Create Image....
  2. In the Source Folder field, click Browse and browse to the folder or directory to be used as the source for the image file. The image file is on the management station or the C: drive of the managed system.
  3. In the Image File Name field, the default path to store the created image files (typically the desktop directory) appears. To change this location, click Browse and navigate to a location.
  4. Click Create Image.
    The image creation process starts. If the image file location is within the source folder, a warning message is displayed indicating that the image creation cannot proceed as the image file location within the source folder causes an infinite loop. If the image file location is not within the source folder, then the image creation proceeds.
    After the image is created, a success message is displayed.
  5. Click Finish.

    The image is created.

    When a folder is added as an image, a .img file is created on the Desktop of the management station from which this feature is used. If this .img file is moved or deleted, then the corresponding entry for this folder in the Virtual Media menu does not work. Therefore, it is recommended not to move or delete the .img file while the image is being used. However, the .img file can be removed after the relevant entry is first deselected and then removed using Remove Image to remove the entry.
