4.6.1 Adding a new ISO image share

To add a new ISO image share, select the sharepoint where the ISO image resides

from the pulldown to launch the Mount Table window. In the Mount Table menu that appears you will see any valid *.iso files listed and the folder(s) within which they reside. Select the ISO you want to mount in the “Current Directory”

list. Mounted ISOs will appear as a new folder in the shared folder that originally held the ISO file. The default name of the ISO will be the name of the ISO file, i.e., TestISO.iso would become a folder named “TestISO”). You may assign a user chosen folder name to this ISO mount in the “Mount as” field. Click Add to complete the process. Mounted ISO folders will be subject to the parent share ACLs.
