After you are connected, virtual devices are available to the host server until you close the vMedia applet or sign out from a web session. When you are finished using the virtual CD/DVD, disconnect the device from the host server or close the applet.

NOTE: The vMedia applet must remain open when using a vMedia device.

Virtual Media CD/DVD Operating System

vMedia CD/DVD operating systems information is listed as follows:

•Currently, EFI console only supports El Torito bootable CD format media.

•Windows Server 2003:

The virtual CD/DVD displays automatically after Windows has recognized the mounting of the USB device. Use it as you would a locally attached CD/DVD device.

•Linux:

On servers with a locally attached IDE CD/DVD, the virtual CD/DVD device is accessible at /dev/cdrom1. However, on servers without a locally attached CD/DVD (such as the HP Integrity server blades) the virtual CD/DVD is the first CD/DVD accessible at/dev/cdrom. The virtual CD/DVD can be mounted as a normal CD/DVD device using: mount /mnt/cdrom1.

•HP-UX 11.23

To recognize the hardware path and special files, run the ioscan -kfnC disk command.

To mount the virtual CD/DVD/image file on a directory, use the # mount <special files path> /<dir-name> command.
