Appendix B: Virtual Media Example

Goal

In this example, the goal is to put a rescue CD (a CD used to boot a PC when the hard-disk corruption prevents OS boot) on PC#3 so that the rescue CD can be used by any Spider devices on the network.

Figure B-1 Virtual Media

In this example, PC#2 cannot boot from its hard disk, so the user wants to use the rescue CD to boot the PC. We assume PC#2 can boot from external USB device.

Step 1 – Prepare the VM Server

1.Use any CD-copy application to create an ISO image of the rescue CD, and call this ISO image file boot.iso.

2.On PC#3 (Windows XP in this example), put the ISO file in a Windows folder – file boot.iso in folder aaa as shown in the diagram below.
