The plug-in is installed automatically when you access the Virtual Media page for the first time or when a newer version of the plug-in is available.

No. You only need to install the plug-in once when the feature is used for the first time unless a newer version becomes available.

Currently, the Virtual Media feature is not supported under any version of the NetWare operating system. NetWare drivers ignore the virtual drives and do not make them available to the system.
