Insert Media Into a Virtual Machine
An
insertMedia
request
makes
a
virtual
media
image
readable
by
a
Vm
.
The
request
must
specify
the
insertMedia
URL
of
a
Vm
.
The
Media
element
in
the
request
body
must
specify
the
href
of
the
media
image
to
insert.
When
processing
an
insertMedia
request,
the
server
examines
the
type
of
the
media
specified
in
the
request
and
then
attempts
to
insert
it
in
a
device
of
the
appropriate
type,
starting
with
the
device
that
has
the
lowest
bus
number
and
lowest
address
on
that
bus.
Example 5-29.
