Using Virtual Media When the Server’s Operating System Is Running
Windows-Based Systems
On Windows systems, the virtual media drives are automounted if they are
attached and configured with a drive letter.
Using the virtual drives from within Windows is similar to using your physical
drives. When you connect to the media using the Virtual Media wizard,
the media is available at the system by clicking the drive and browsing
its content.
Linux-Based Systems
Depending on the configuration of the software on your system, the virtual
media drives may not be automounted. If your drives are not automounted,
manually mount the drives using the Linux
mount
command.
