Remotely exporting a disk drive to the host
1 On the remote system, log into the ALIF 2112T using the VNC viewer.
2 Press
F8
and then
V
to display a Virtual Media dialog box:
Remote Drive(s)
This section lists any located
storage devices on the
remote system that are 2GB
or less, and which could be
copied en masse to the host
computer, if desired.
Remote Files or Folders
Click Browse to search for
and select single or multiple
files/folders to be copied to
the host computer.
When the Create ISO Image
option is ticked this creates
a bootable disk so that it’s
possible to boot the host
computer from the virtual
media drive.
3 You can select an entire drive or a disk image (e.g. .iso) file:
• Select a disk drive: Click the checkbox adjacent to the listed disk drive that you
wish to make available to the host computer,
or
• Add a Disk Image File: Select the disk image file and click Open.
4 In the Virtual Media dialog box, click the OK button to announce the availability of the
drive to the host computer. On the host computer, the new drive will appear in the
same way as any removable drive would on your computer.
Note: Remember, at this point the selected drive has not yet been transferred to the host
system, it is just visible there.
5 On the host computer (either directly or via the VNC viewer) locate the new virtual
drive (shown as a Removable Disk) and copy the files to the required location on the
host computer.
Note: The Remote File or Folder section of this Virtual Media dialog box provides yet another
method of creating a virtual drive from some files or folders, as described above.
