Connect. The virtual drive activity LED does not show drive activity for URL-mounted virtual

Create Media Image feature (Java IRC only)
When you use Virtual Media, performance is fastest when image files are used instead of
physical disks. You can use industry-standard tools like DD to create image files or to copy data
from a disk image file to a physical disk. You can also use the Java IRC to perform these tasks.
Creating a disk image file
The Create Media Image feature enables you to create disk image files from data in a file or on a
physical disk. You can create an ISO-9660 disk image file (IMG or ISO).
Prerequisites
