NOTE: While using ActiveX-based Virtual Media, you must have administrative privileges to map an operating
system DVD or a USB flash drive (that is connected to the management station.) To map the drives, launch IE as an
administrator or add the iDRAC7 IP address to the list of trusted sites.
1. To establish a Virtual Media session, from the Virtual Media menu, click Connect Virtual Media.
For each device available for mapping from the host server, a menu item appears under the Virtual Media menu.
The menu item is named according to the device type such as:
– Map CD/DVD
– Map Removable Disk
– Map Floppy Disk
NOTE: The Map Floppy Disk menu item appears on the list if the Floppy Emulation option is enabled on the
Attached Media page. When Floppy Emulation is enabled, Map Removable Disk is replaced with Map Floppy
Disk.
2. Click the device type that you want to map.
NOTE: The active session displays if a Virtual Media session is currently active from the current Web
interface session, from another Web interface session, or from VMCLI.
3. In the Drive/Image File field, select the device from the drop-down list.
The list contains all the available (unmapped) devices that you can map (CD/DVD, Removable Disk, Floppy Drive)
and image file types that you can map (ISO or IMG). The image files are located in the default image file directory
(typically the user’s desktop). If the device is not available in the drop-down list, click Browse to specify the device.
The correct file type for CD/DVD is ISO and for removable disk and floppy disk it is IMG.
If the image is created in the default path (Desktop), when you select Map Removable Disk, the created image is
available for selection in the drop-down menu.
If image is created in a different location, when you select Map Removable Disk, the created image is not available
for selection in the drop-down menu. Click Browse to specify the image.
4. Select Read-only to map writable devices as read-only.
For CD/DVD devices, this option is enabled by default and you cannot disable it.
5. Click Map Device to map the device to the host server.
After the device/file is mapped, the name of its Virtual Media menu item changes to indicate the device name. For
example, if the CD/DVD device is mapped to an image file named foo.iso, then the CD/DVD menu item on the Virtual
Media menu is named foo.iso mapped to CD/DVD. A check mark for that menu item indicates that it is mapped.

On a Linux-based management station, the Virtual Media Client window may display removable disks and floppy disks
that are not part of the management station. To make sure that the correct virtual drives are available to map, you must
enable the port setting for the connected SATA hard drive. To do this:
1. Reboot the operating system on the management station. During POST, press <F2> or <F12> to enter System Setup.
2. Go to SATA settings. The port details are displayed.
3. Enable the ports that are actually present and connected to the hard drive.
4. Access the Virtual Media Client window. It displays the correct drives that can be mapped.
